the dress...
Married in:
White - You've chosen all right
Blue - Your love is true
Pearl - You'll live in a whirl
Brown - You'll live out of town
Red - You will wish yourself dead
Yellow - You're ashamed of your fellow
Green - Ashamed to be seen
Pink - Your fortunes/spirits will sink
Grey - You'll live far away
Black - You'll wish yourself back
With the exception of the Irish bride, it is considered bad luck to wear green.
If the bride finds a spider in her dress, don't panic! This is a sign of good luck.
The bridesmaids dressed similarly to the bride to ward off and confuse the evil spirits about the identity of the real bride.
A glance in the mirror just before the fully-dressed bride leaves for her wedding is considered good luck, but should she return and look again, this is considered bad luck.
