Strange Superstitions About Weddings

n ARRIAGE being an ancient institution
MI which vitality affects lives Of men and
~ women, it is not surprising that practi-
cally everything connected Herewith has some
superstitious belief other associated with 1t
The majority of people believe that particular in
cidents, colors, days, flowers, etc, determine abb
soutely the veal OF woe Of the parties to q mar
riage. They avoid supposedly unlucky days for
their weddings. They take pains 20 arrange
everything so as to assure conjugal happiness
and they worry themselves nearly TO death II
anything in connection with the ceremony takes
an unpropitiOus turn.
If bride marks her linen with the initials
Of her betrothed it is commonly believed that she
will never have occasion to use it as his wife. Il
is regarded as very unlucky if her hance sees her
wearing any part of her trousseau before the
day, or even the hour, set for the wedding cere
mony. Only bad luck can be expected, many be-
lieve, Il the bride makes her own wedding dress
or if the making of the dress is begun before the
day is named for the wedding.
Superstitious brides usually avoid velvet as a
material for their wedding dresses, believing that
it would be certain to bring them bad luck. Satin
is favored because it is believed 70 assure good
fortune. If one holds a wedding dress in TIE
hands for FIVE minutes and makes wish the wish
will come true" many believe
