Wedding Superstitions

If the groom drops the wedding band during the ceremony, the marriage is doomed. If a single woman sleeps with a piece of wedding cake under her pillow, she will dream of her future husband. The spouse who goes to sleep first on the wedding day will be the first to die. The new bride must enter her home by the main door, and must not trip or fall - hence the custom of carrying the bride over the threshold. Good Omens:  seeing a rainbow Bad: having the sun shine meeting a black cat meeting a chimney sweep The first gift the bride opens should be the first gift she uses. Everything the bride says as she opens her gifts will be repeated on her wedding night. Somone should be assigned to write down these comments during the shower. The person who gives the third gift to be opened will soon have a baby.
