Revealed: Strange Wedding and Engagement Superstitions

A Twist

There is a variation to the superstition that says it is bad luck to sight a nun or a monk on the way to your wedding. A long time ago, it was common for a man to send a friend or a member of his family to sort of scope out the potential bride as part of the marriage proposal process.

If the friend or family member was on his way to the potential bride’s house, there were a few things to watch out for. If he encountered a blind man or a pregnant woman on the way to the home, it was considered to be a bad omen and could quite possibly result in the engagement not going through!
