Shop Until You Drop

In fact, purchasing some knives at your wedding could lead to good luck! There is a tradition that says whoever makes the first purchase after the vows are exchanged will have the upper hand in the marriage. Paying someone for the knives they give you could be a way to establish dominance in your marriage.

Back when this superstition was more widespread, a lot of brides devised a sneaky way of besting their husbands. They would buy a small item off of one of their bridesmaids immediately following the wedding ceremony, so if you choose to do this you would only be following a long-standing tradition!
