Why Is It Bad Luck To See The Bride?

By Hedrick Lepsch


It's just 24 hours until the big day, and you say goodbye to your spouse-to-be, knowing you won't see each other again until you're at the altar. You set off for an evening of fun with the ladies while he's off with the guys, taking in one last night of single life.

While every wedding can still be a memorable and enjoyable event even if mistakes are made during the planning phase, a couple, and especially the bride, will be able to better enjoy their special day if they will strive to avoid the following common wedding planning mistakes.

One of the first mistakes that many brides make while planning for their wedding day is over spending on the dress. And while some brides are of the mentality that over spending on the dress is one of those perks of getting married, it will be their wedding dress after all.

The real danger or mistake of overspending on the bride's dress is not that the budget has been blown, but that the budget has been blown to the point of having nothing but the dress.

It was rumored in older time that getting a piece of the bride's undergarments represented good luck for the future. Some would obtain it in hopes of good fortune throughout the year.

It just so happens that the idea to not see the bride before the big day came from a time of arranged marriages. Two families would agree to let their sons and daughters marry in order to gain some political, land, or other kind of increase for their own family.

Fathers would give away their daughters. The arrangement was made and the date was set, but the groom-to-be was not allowed to see his future bride until the day of the wedding.

Not only will the dress come out to be more than the one grand, what with taxes and alterations, but then the bride's fashion budget will have been blown on the dress alone, leaving no room for accessories, jewelry, hair ordainments, etc.

The next major planning mistake that brides and grooms often make is getting set on a specific flower before they know the exact date of their wedding day.

This can lead to one major problem-the specific flower the couple so desires is not in season, which means the cost for flowers just skyrocketed as those flowers have to be brought in from distant greenhouses or locations.

This is what legend and pop culture tell us of the origins of the garter toss. The truth of the origin may be found in it, or it may be lost to time.

As arranged marriages have ceased in many of today's cultures, the tradition remains, even though they has less meaning now. Today, many couples uphold the superstition that it's bad luck for your marriage if you see each other a day before the wedding.

Veils are still worn and dresses are still kept secret. Even though he's not going to reject her on the wedding day, it's still a fun tradition to upkeep.

Not only do these services offered by event planners and their wedding packages greatly reduce the stress of planning for the wedding, but they likewise will most often come in under budget and so allow the bride and groom to have a joyful and well planned wedding with little of the fuss of planning the wedding by themselves.
