That's Right...I've Seen It

Everyone is horrified...they're horrified when we tell them that I went with Katharine to pick out her wedding dress. "You're not supposed to see the dress!" they tell me. Yeah...OK. Come on now...do we really believe in superstition? If it's not superstition, what is it? Well, I've seen it folks...and it's 2005. Do you know WHY people started saying it was bad luck? I do...I looked it up in the interest of knowing why.

In the days when arranged marriages were common...which isn't now for most people in the United States...the groom wasn't supposed to see the bride at all...never mind the wedding dress...in case he thought she was hideous and didn't want to be married to her...and this could cause WARS between tribes. OK...this has been severely skewed since those days...now they just say it's bad luck...BAH...boy have times changed. And you've learned something today.
