Traditions & Superstitions ...

I came across this page on theKnot.com and I found it really interesting. It was 50 Wedding Traditions and Superstitions .... And I just had to share it with all of you!!!! Below are the what I considered the most intriguing from the list:

• On average, 7,000 couples marry each day in the United States


• Seventeen tons of gold are made into wedding rings each year in the United States


• Saturday is the unluckiest wedding day, according to English folklore. Funny -- it's the most popular day of the week to marry!


• The English believe a spider found in a wedding dress means good luck. Yikes!


• One of history's earliest engagement rings was given to Princess Mary, daughter of Henry VIII. She was two years old at the time.


• Brides carry or wear "something old" on their wedding day to symbolize continuity with the past


• The "something blue" in a bridal ensemble symbolizes purity, fidelity, and love.


• An old wives' tale: If the younger of two sisters marries first, the older sister must dance barefoot at the wedding or risk never landing a husband.
