Weeding Is not Every Thing...

This page is for all you people out there who are wanting to get Married. There are many Beliefs and Superstitions surrounding the Sacred Ceremony of Marriage. My thoughts on this are.... if you believe it so.... then so shall it be. Just remember this.... Don't be so anxious or Hell Bent on getting Married or think that time is running out. Take your time in life and find the one Mate you really wish to spend the rest of your life with. Get to really know the person you want to marry.... if you have not lived with this person for at least a year... then you really don't know them and all their habits. Also... why take Vows if you are not going to stick to them. So many people rush out to get married and a year later they are divorced. So take your time... and Choose wisely!


A.The bride will have good luck if she dreams on her wedding day.

B.Finding a tear in the Wedding Veil is a Omen of Good luck!

F.It is bad luck for the groom to see the bride in her wedding attire before the ceremony.

O.In early Rome, through to the Renaissance, only the wealthy wore rings. The one exception was the wedding band.
In the Anglo-Saxon north, rings were among the gifts given to the bride before the wedding. The word "wed" is from the Anglo-Saxon word for "pledge"

P.It is Bad luck if the Brides car does not start the first time or has car trouble on the way to the ceremony.

W.The bride will have mother-in-law troubles if she breaks something on her wedding day.
The mother-in-law test of the bride's housewife rating is to place a broom on the floor. If the bride moves the broom to the side, she will be a good housewife: if she steps over it, she will not be.

X.In some Middle Eastern Islamic countries, the bride must be a virgin. At the wedding party on the wedding night, the groom and bride leave the ceremony to consummate the marriage. The mother of the bride must stand outside the door of the bedroom to wait for the groom to hand her a blood stained sheet to verify the bride's virginity had not been violated. If the blood is not present, the groom has the right to annul the marriage.

Y.In Indian, in the Sikh and Punjabi cultures, games are traditionally played with the groom for money. The sister of the bride hides the shoes of the groom until he pays her. Later when the groom is entering the HOME, the sister of the bride blocks the groom's entry , and in order for the groom and his family to enter, he needs to pay.
