Is it really bad luck for the groom to see his bride in a dress before the wedding?

[Alwayreckles93]

I have hear this from older people. I just want to see what other people's opinions are.

[Rosexøxø]

I doubt it, but I bet the belief would have some odd thing to do with:

if he sees you at your best, he may quickly get bored and not marry, or who knows, be intimidated?

The bride is supposed to look “her best”and in ancient times, be at her ‘purest.’

When I say doubt it, I seriously doubt it lol.

I may just follow the tradition because it’s not super “weighty” in my life, and such. It’s just a fun thing like Halloween, or so 😂. Just brighter and more special ☝️🥰

Thanks girl

[EmmaMary]

@Alwayreckles93

You're very welcome indeed.

It's something I read up myself before my own wedding four years ago.

[Aaron03]

Yea I agree with the tradition part. I think it’s just like something borrowed, something blue. It’s more tradition than anything else. I know if I’m ever a groom I’d want to wait to see my bride in her dress until she walks down the aisle but I’m corny lol

[EmmaMary]

Thank you for the MH.

[Chazmatazz269]

No. There’s not really such a thing as “luck”, good or bad. The myth stems from times when arranged marriages were the norm, yet the stereotype persisted that women are the prize. A man might catch a glimpse of the troll to which he was betrothed and skidaddle. Indeed unlucky for unbecoming women of the time, but nothing short of a godsend for a decent man. Ell oh ell!

[OlderAndWiser]

That is a very old and tradtional superstition.

[Alwayreckles93]

I guess I might be old fashioned.

[OlderAndWiser]

Me, too!

[AviatorTom]

It's horrible luck. He would see how sexy and attractive his bride-to-be is, yet can't do anything about it, except for maybe one or two things he shouldn't be doing on his wedding day.

[Avicenna]

Only if you are superstitious

[watercolor_lions]

Well, a lot of times in wedding culture they do the "first look" now, which is often done before the wedding.

So maybe the superstition is fading?

[Alwayreckles93]

It seems like it is. So far now a days couples take pictures before the ceremony. My grandmother is a believer not allowed the groom to see you in a wedding dress before the ceremony.

[Fireguy17]

It is an old tradition.
Some do, many don't.
We did our pictures before the actual ceremony, and so far so good.
My first marriage I didn't see her until she walked down the isle and that one did not last.
Go figure!

[SeiferTurtlez]

It's a very old tradition honestly. A lot of cultures have it surprisingly. But more recently for a friend of mine, its used when the bride doesn't want the groom to see how she looks wearing the dress on the actual day until the walk in. Nothing much other than that

[Jaximus-Lion]

No! It's not a bad luck. It's just a stupid superstition thing people had few years back. There still people freak out out there when they see a black cat, for me! That tells me how low IQ someone has without telling me they have a low IQ.

[DaisyM23]

Probably not but I'm superstitious enough to believe it haha

[Paul_in_Indy]

They just don’t want the bride to mess up her dress, hair, and makeup when the groom pushes her up against the wall or pounds or on a sofa. So, they keep them apart.

[Sasha0426]

I like your answer 😂

[Paul_in_Indy]

@Sasha0426 You had better believe that if I was getting married I would be looking for a way to have a quickie with the bride! …the naughtier, without getting caught, the better. Actually, while I wouldn’t want her to be embarrassed, I guess I wouldn’t mind if somebody knows I’ve been going at it with the bride on our wedding day. :-)

[Paul_in_Indy]

As an aside, when guys talk about trying to bang bridesmaids, I always say that my ultimate fantasy is to go to a wedding and have sex with the bride. I don’t mean anything immoral by that, just slightly naughty. ;)

[Sasha0426]

As long as the groom gets to cheat, too.

[shyonehere]

Bad luck? Not at all... but it IS bad luck for the groom to see any of the bridesmaids WITHOUT a dress before the wedding ;)

[Price511]

It’s an old superstition, if you ask me; I actually heard this was started by men to avoid having to do dress shopping with his wife, which if true is actually quite hilarious if you ask me.

[exitseven]

I am not really superstitious but I didn't want to take any chances.

[Shayyyy1]

Yeah went to a wedding once groom saw her and got cold feet maybe he realized it was real and then dude dipped.

[Apulu_Imback]

Not really, my dad was there when they were selecting my mom's wedding dress. They are happy couples even after 15 years.

[EricJonesAB]

Not really.

I lived with my ex for 5 years before we got married so I think I watched her get ready on our wedding day.

[DubiousIntentions]

No more than seeing her out of her dress, and the rest of her clothes, before the wedding.

[Mangospacho]

In every case where the groom has seen the bride before the wedding on the wedding day, the marriage lasted less than 100 years. That’s pretty much the definition of bad luck right there.

[socair]

It is for her if she's always worn a veil is ugly or deformed and he's never seen her before and is shallow

[linka_pat307]

Well it seems to be everywhere, I don't believe in those, if God wanted he would have separated us long again

[Opinion Owner]

You've pissed off so many people on this app that you can't even keep up

[Alwayreckles93]

No it's you lol

[Mtbgirl]

It’s just a tradition. Some people are very superstitious about these things though.

[captain_voidwalker]

It's bad luck that he's be one a groom, seeing you in a dress would be like putting out a fire on a sinking ship.

[AmeerX]

Meeting of the bride and groom before marriage in general is considered an ill omen.

[Joker_]

yeah, being fortunate enough to have a wedding is definitely bad luck

[Anonymous]

nope this is all crap - I creampied my friends wife on her marriage. They all are happy and have three kids now ;)

[Sasha0426]

Which one those kids are yours?

[Opinion Owner]

the elder daughter 🥺

[Sasha0426]

This is why I hate our species and wish we get wiped out.

[Opinion Owner]

@Sasha0426 True

[Opinion Owner]

@Sasha0426 but life is short and we need to enjoy each and every minute of our life, that 15mins were the best and fond memory as well.

[Sasha0426]

Let me get this straight. You helped the wife cheat and got her pregnant with your eldest kid. Her husband has no idea and is forced to pay child support while YOU get off scot free?

[Sasha0426]

Let me get the is straight. You helped the wife cheat and impregnated her with your eldest kid. Her husband has no idea and is forced to pay child support while YOU get off scot free.

[Sasha0426]

Shit! I didn’t mean to post that twice 🤦‍♀️

[Opinion Owner]

@Sasha0426 Its okay - even I didn't mean to do it - but I forgot to carry the safety at that point and in the heat of the moment just creampied her :(

[Sasha0426]

I feel sorry for the husband. He’s married to a cunt wife and living a lie. Both of you are to blame for this and hope Karma comes back at you two. Whatever she has brewing, you BOTH deserve it.

[Opinion Owner]

@Sasha0426 that was harsh :(
I haven't met since a decade now & she lives in a different country and they all are a happy family.
I am happy that she and my daughter are happy too :)

[Sasha0426]

Well, you’re a bad father and she’s a bad mother. Messing with someone’s relationship and forcing a child into something she has no idea about. BOTH OF YOU SHOULD JUST FUCKING DIE!!

[Opinion Owner]

@Sasha0426 OMG looks like someone did something wrong to you and you are removing the anger on me lol
God bless you!

[Sasha0426]

FUCKING KILL YOURSELF 🖕

[Sasha0426]

You and your fuck buddy deserve death. You two don’t even care what you’ve done. You’re evil monsters!

[Opinion Owner]

@Sasha0426 :(

[Sasha0426]

You can give me that look all you want but what I say is true. You’re a bad father and coward and same with her.

[Opinion Owner]

:(:(

[midnightmoon05]

If that’s what you believe.

[YourFavoriteFriend]

It's bad luck to get married in general...

[Agape93]

No it's just an old superstition

[slatyb]

No, that's just a silly superstition.

[Exterminatore]

Just superstition. Nah.

[Alwayreckles93]

Is it weird?

[Exterminatore]

I don’t think so.

[CallmeTheKnight]

No. It's just tradition that's respected

[jayhams]

Luck doesn't exist

[boobliker]

[User3191989]

if you believe in luck

[Tracker1958]

It's only bad luck if they get married at all.

[Jltakk]

I didn't know this was a thing.

[Anonymous]

Not really, it’s just a superstition

[Brando10222]

No, it's not

[Gosselinfan]

I would say yes

[In_Trance]

Apparently so

[Anonymous]

I don't know.
