This really is a fun tradition for couples, it can add a lot of mystery and anticipation to the day.<\/p>\n<p>An oldie but a goodie, not seeing your partner before the wedding day also seems popular coming in at 25%. While tradition says that it\u2019s bad luck to see the bride before the wedding, the main reason for it has to do with arranged marriages. The bride would be kept out of the groom\u2019s eye line before the wedding in case he changed his mind once he saw her.\u00a0We have to say, the modern take on this tradition can be a fun tradition to add a little excitement to the wedding day. Also, the night before should be about relaxing and getting yourself ready for the day ahead. After all, you\u2019ll be spending the rest of your lives together so one night apart won\u2019t do any one any harm. Fun fact, Paul McCartney claims he had only spent one night apart from Linda during their 30 year marriage\u2026 How lovely is that?<\/p>\n<p>Image from Etsy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wedding superstitions are so interesting.
