Revealed: Strange Wedding and Engagement Superstitions

A Spider For Luck

The English passed down a lot of fascinating wedding traditions. Did you know, for example that if you find a spider lurking in your wedding dress that it is considered good luck? It is a lot less common for this to happen in modern times, of course, since most dresses are kept in garment bags and away from dust and cobwebs, but you might just get lucky if you are wearing a passed down wedding dress that has been stored in an attic or a basement!

If you’re a bridesmaid it could be a fun trick to play on the bride to put a spider in the folds of her wedding dress—just for luck, of course! Although to avoid her wrath, you might want to make it a plastic spider!
