| Scottish tradition for good luck, supercool idea aching to be revived! Via notonthehighstreet.com |
Every bride will attest to the fact that she has had the most offers of help to keep this tradition fulfilled in order to ensure her happily ever after, but I don't know any who have tucked a coin away in their shoe. There are a handful of wedding traditions and superstitions that are standard and adhered to, like the couple see each other in their wedding day attire for the first time at the ceremony or else be plagued by bad luck, or that engagement rings are worn on the fourth finger of our left hands. But the lesser known traditions are intriguing and, to be honest, could be overdue for a revival! For example, Queen Victoria popularized the white wedding gown; prior to that, brides wore their best dress of any colour!
