Ever wondered why bathing in milk, wearing pearls, or popping a silver sixpence in your shoe affects the success of your wedding and/or your marriage?No, neither have I.But as fate would have it (see what I did there), they are not one of the 10 wacky wedding superstitions that I’m going to share with you today.We’re going to travel to Greece, Ireland, the Netherlands and the Philippines to uncover some of the truly out-there wedding superstitions and traditions that people believed in many years ago and some that are still going strong today.And in case you’re curious, the milk bath is for purity in Morocco; the pearls were believed to represent tears, supposedly dooming the bride to sadness, and the silver sixpence is a symbol of good luck, wealth, and prosperity in marriage. RESOURCES Ep29: 6 Outdated Wedding Traditions That Don't Make Sense in 2023Send Unbridely a 90-second audio message on Speakpipe: https://www.speakpipe.com/unbridelypodcast*The Unbridely Podcast is sponsored by its listeners.
