There's a lot of talk about poems about wedding superstitions; is there anyone else who genuinely doesn't worry about them?
I really don't mind if Grant knows approximately what I'm going to be wearing, or if we're getting married on a lucky/unlucky day/month, or if a black cat crosses my path, or if we sleep together the night before the wedding.
We're getting married because I love him and he loves me and we can't imagine life without one another... and I think that will get us through a lot more than any superstition ever could.

Im not superstitious - and Im not showing the wedding dress to H2B not because of superstition but because I want to suprise him
as for other stuff (The traditional stuff) Im doing them because they are fun not because of the superstition.
is soooo happy and lucky
CommentAuthorKirsty4Paul
oh no im with you on that one I dont even know half of them! not bothered about superstition in general life so not gonna start now! I am sleeping at the hotel the night before the wedding but thats more for practical reasons than anything! Im gonna do old new borrowed blue etc tho just coz i think its fun but otherwise not bothered :)
CommentAuthorUnknown
im not really but h2b is. i wasnt going to do the something borrowered as havnt got anything but he really wants me to!
CommentAuthorMrsd
Me!! i followed all the rules first time i got married and it didnt work so its all to do with love, nothing more nothing less! xx
I'm doing old, new, borrowed, blue but more because I had the things anyway and won't show him pictures of me in the dress, but I'm doing a lot of work on the shoes and the veil, so he'll almost certainly see those in advance.
I'm wearing red shoes, which a lot of people think is unlucky.
CommentAuthorRhiannonollie
nah dont listen to them. Pah i say!!
Im doing borrowed blue new old because its just part of the fun.

is soooo happy and lucky
CommentAuthorTillyflop
It all sounds very interesting. I in nature am not superstitous. My dear grandmother gave me her diamond hair pin, which is exquisite so I shall be wearing that as someting borrowed on the day. I haven't really considered the other superstitions pertaining to a wedding. Alastair and I will not be able to see each other before the day as he will be flying back from Hong Kong the night before and will be staying at our venue that morning. I will be staying at the family home in Cheshire the day before.
CommentAuthorFaeth
I have to admit I'm not deeply superstitious, but I am following some of the traditions just because I kinda like the idea of them. So I am banishing h2b from the house the night before, and I will not let him see anything to do with my outfit, and I have the old, borrowed, blue and sixpence thing going on, but mostly for sentimental reasons and to surprise the h2b on the day for the full "walking down the aisle" impact :-)

CommentAuthorKinkyemo
I don't think we are following any traditions, superstitions! Other than Karl wont see my dress (although he has seen a pic of the dress I want but wont know which one I had) And he is not staying with me the night before the wedding!
My friends mom who is doing my flowers tried to tell me she will put the borrowed blue ect in my flowers or stitch something into my dress I said no! I dont believe in any of it and in my own opinion superstitions only work if you believe!
CommentAuthorMel D
I'm not supersitious at all. H2B has seen my shoes, he has seen a pic of my dress (in a magazine with a whole load of others so doesn't know which one) I have described it to him detail. Oly not showing him the dress so he sees the whole thing put together and not just a bit of material on a hanger.

CommentAuthorHelen
I'm not showing him the dress, because i want it to be a surprise on the day. He's seen my shoes, and i'm not bothering with the old, new, etc etc because I don't want to x
CommentAuthorLisa Ramos
The only reason we won't be sleeping in the same place the night before, is because I think it will add to the emotion and I want him to see me in my dress just as I'm walking down the aisle. I'm not bothering with a garter or anything blue.
I love my lickle Ava
CommentAuthorXLittleMissMe!X
I'm not worried about superstitions but I'm following the ones that I like and ignoring the ones I don't like. Its all about suiting me hahaha.
CommentAuthorMrsSaraParry!
im not superstitious in the slightest and neither is Adam. I'm not even bothering with old, new, borrowed, blue because I don't really see the point (cant avoid the blue bit because thats the theme but not actively doing it) I'm not wearing a garter because I dont want to - i dont like them, and I'm not doing it just because 'its the done thing'. Only thing I am adhering to is that Adam and I will be in different places the night before although that is primarily so I can make sure he's with someone reliable who will ensure he gets there on time! And he's not seeing my dress before the day either xx
CommentAuthorkrazykitty
ry is superstitious but im not the only thing i think is about the dress and thats mainly because i want it to be a suprise for him! the rest im not too bothered about!! id rather spend the night before with him because i can never sleep when he not nest to me! (soppy i know but true) but i dont think that will be happenning lol x
i cannot wait to marry my best friend
i love you ry!!!

CommentAuthorPiper Halliwell
I'm a wee bit superstitious as I wanted to get married in May but there is a saying that it's not very good luck and I also wanted green bridesmaid dresses which have been changed as it's bad luck to have green in your wedding like that. I get it from my gran! She was superstitious. I still shout at people when they put shoes on a table, ha ha!
CommentAuthorSpecialSundae
Piper - What do you think would happen if you did have green dresses or got married in May?
CommentAuthorCal-lou
I'm not supersticious in the slightest. I'm hoping that h2b will help me choose my dress as he always tell me the truth! He doesn't want us to see each other in the morning that's fine. I think I will do the old new borrowed blue not as superstition but as tradition!! Xx
CommentAuthorPiper Halliwell
Probably nothing, I know it's silly! We didnt change the date becaue of that anyway, I have family in america and the only time the can get over is the august. I would have liked to get married in may as sometimes the weather is nicer than the summer and we have a lot of things going on at the end of the year like birthdays and stuff so it would have been nice to have something to celebrate in the springtime.
CommentAuthorSpecialSundae
We were originally going for May but our venue was all booked up so we went for April and saved about £2400 in venue fees. No superstition in the change of date.
CommentAuthorPiper Halliwell
Wow! What a saving!
CommentAuthorSpecialSundae
Yeah. We thought we were only saving £1200 but they'd invoiced us wrong and when I noticed they corrected the invoice and we saved £1200 more (which has paid for fireworks and ice cream).
CommentAuthorPiper Halliwell
I like the sound of that!
CommentAuthorPiper Halliwell
Your engagement ring is beautiful. I had a look at your pics.xx
CommentAuthorSpecialSundae
Thank you, it was my grandma's. It's a little bit chipped sadly, but I think I'm the only one who notices.
CommentAuthorPiper Halliwell
I've got my grans wedding ring but it's gold and is just a tad too small. Think my mum wants to take it back off me! She may be worried i'll lose it but it's in my jewellery box tucked away safe! I don't wear gold jewellery so will keep it for sentimental reasons.
CommentAuthorSpecialSundae
My mum will get my grandma's wedding ring, which is also platinum, but never wanted her engagement ring so it was to come to me on my grandma's death or my engagement. Thankfully the latter came first.

im not superstitious at all but i like some traditions x
CommentAuthorKazza
I am not superstitious at all, the fact that I am getting married on Friday 13th maybe shows that. I have noticed I have not had a problem getting things booked so far with that date :) x
CommentAuthorMrs K 2be
Im not worried we've had so much bad luck its not gonna be down to superstitions! H2B has seen my dress but not me in it x
CommentAuthorFuture Mrs Doublé
I am very superstitious even though I know it's a load of b*****, so I am doing the something old, new, borrowed, blue and sixpence in my shoe, and H2B won't see the dress or have an idea about it, and the night before there won't be any man in my place, and in everyday life, I consider myself unlucky if I see a black cat, or walk under a ladder/scaffolding, and would not put bread upside down on the table and would not eat on a table of 13 people, etc.

CommentAuthorHappilymarried Mrs G
I am not superstitious, certain things we are doing for the fun of it, he wont know what i am wearing, because i want it to be a suprise for him. We wont be sleeping together the night before the wedding, but thats because all my family will be in england and i want to be at the same hotel with them the night before, and we agreed it would be nice for him to be able to spend some time with his family the night before as well. Ill have my daughter and he'll have my son with him so no going out drinking luckily.
We had a look through the meanings behind traditions and stuff, and we did find some of them quite amusing, especially behind the bridemaids etc...... We are having the day we want, how we want it, not worrying about traditions etc.
CommentAuthorsuzky123
im not really superstitious but do want everything traditional so will be following a lot of these.

im not really supersitious but i say white the first of every month before i say anything else, new shoes on a table is a no-go. If your right ear itches, someone is speaking well of you. If your left ear itches, someone is speaking ill of you. etc etc
CommentAuthorSpecialSundae
That's pretty superstitious, Liz!
CommentAuthorlizfludder2b
i probab;y am, i will do the something borrowed, not let the h2b see me in my dress etc and the rest o the wedding ones.

CommentAuthorEnny
I do like the something old, blue, borrowed, new as a tradition... has nothing to do with superstition just like it :) I wouldn't worry about any black cats walking around or the new shoes on the table... my h2b and I have gone through so much already that there is only one thing which would keep us together forever and that is the love to each other!
CommentAuthorEmmaLouise
We aren't spending the night before apart, I suggested it to H2B and he said no way, he doesn't want to spend the night before our wedding without me. I will do the something old something new etc though. We may well have a legal wedding prior to our ceremony so like he said, which do we spend the night apart for? I will not let him see my dress, but no one is apart from my Mum, that's our thing and the first time anyone (except my Dad) sees it will be at the ceremony. x
CommentAuthorGregorysGirl
I am not superstitious at all but h2b is a bit. He thinks it would be bad luck to see me in my dress before I am in the church but that is about it. My MIL2b says I should do the old, borrowed, new and blue thing, and I have no problem in doing it for her, no skin off my nose and she has done so much for us both that it would be nice to keep her happy, so I am going to borrow her pearls, have my nanas locket as the old, blue knickers for the blue and there are loads of things that I could count as new, lol. x

CommentAuthorlollilou
I'm doing the something borrowed ect I like the tradition of it.Also staying with my Mum the night before because htb best woman (yes thats best woman not man!) will stay at my house with her husband. Do you know there is a superstition that says it's bad luck for the bride to try on her whole wedding outfit your supposed to leave one item off till the day. Anyone know any other ones?
CommentAuthorx ashlil x
i didnt know that one lolli. x
CommentAuthorSpecialSundae
I'd heard of that one. They'd leave one stitch to be done just before the bride left for the church.
CommentAuthorEmmaLouise
A sixpence in the shoe is an old one, I know because I found it out and bought a sixpence from the year H2B's grandparents got married and stuck it to their 60th Anniversary card. Obviously you couldn't get a sixpence with the year now!!! But I have another so may stick that in my shoe.
Also apparently rain on the wedding day is lucky!
CommentAuthorJilly17
I am just happy doing some as fun traditions rather than being superstitious. It would not upset me if some were not sorted before the big day.
CommentAuthorbarbie86
I'm not superstitious at all, though I'm not going to show my OH my dress, as I want to surprise him (he loves it if I wear a new dress he hasn't seen before), and we won't spend the previous night together because of tradition; I want to get ready separately and not see him until I walk down the aisle :-)
