Wedding Day Superstitions – Just in Time for Halloween
With Halloween right around the corner, I can’t help but think about some common superstitions. I’m not talking about black cats and ghosts of course, but I do think about all the ancient myths and omens associated with weddings. Most of these began in ancient times and were meant to ward off evil spirits and bring luck to the newly married couple. In this day and age we know that these superstitions are nothing more than a myth, but they are still fun traditions that we should keep alive. What are your thoughts about these old superstitions?
