Getting married is supposed to be one of the happiest times of your life. However, there are some things that could give you bad luck on your wedding day. Some of the superstitions do not make sense until you see where they came from. Most people follow a lot of the traditions. However, more and more people are straying away from the ancient roots. Keep reading to find out 8 things that are bad luck when getting married.

  1. A well-known superstition is that if the groom sees the bride before she walks down the aisle, it is bad luck. This is from when arranged marriages were popular. They did not want the groom to see the bride in case he thought she was ugly and wanted to cancel the wedding, leaving a bad name on the bride.
  2. Getting a tattoo for your significant other is also bad luck. Tattoos are permanent, so you are almost jeopardizing your marriage if you do this.
  3. Saturdays are one of the most popular days for weddings due to being on the weekend. However, this is bad luck in English folklore.
  4. If someone drops a ring during the vows, it is said this person will die. Wow. It doesn’t matter if it is the groom, best man, or ring bearer, the saying stays the same.
  5. Don’t ask for knives on your registry. If you receive knives, this is bad luck as knives cut things in two. It is said this is leading up to your marriage ending.
  6. While making your own wedding dress is not the most popular choice, do not do it. If you sew your own wedding dress, it is said that for each stitch you sew, you will cry that many times in your marriage. No one wants that.
  7. While it may be tempting to try on your entire outfit beforehand, don’t. If you put on your dress, veil, and shoes at once, it is bad luck.
  8. Wearing pearls has become more and more popular over the years. However, they say pearls look like tears and are manifesting sadness during your married life.

While some of these have been known for years, some have come out of nowhere that a lot of people did not know. If you believe in bad luck and superstitions, you should stay away from doing any of these things for the wedding. You do not want to end up divorced because of some bad juju.
