Ill Omens For Brides
The article lists wedding day superstitions for brides. Do not look at your gown before the ceremony or at a mirror after donning it. Avoid tearing or repairing trim with a pin, looking over your shoulder, crying on the way to church, or receiving a telegram of congratulations before the ceremony. Forgetting the bouquet or dropping it also brings misfortune. Following these precautions promises happiness but sacrifices some enjoyment of the gown in advance.
