If you see any of these things then we strongly advise you to focus on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.weddingbranch.co.uk\/category-page.php?par_cat_id=183\">wedding entertainment<\/a> regardless because if it\u2019s a slice of good luck \u2013 celebrate! If it\u2019s bad, then hey, you\u2019ll want something great to take your mind off it.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Good Omens<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Seeing a rainbow &#8211; If you see a multi-coloured refraction of light in the sky then the good news is you will have good luck throughout your wedding. Having the sunshine \u2013 If the sun shines, then you\u2019ll have a good day. Obviously. After all, the sun is shining!<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Meeting a black cat \u2013 We aren\u2019t too sure if just seeing a black cat is enough but from what we\u2019ve read, seeing one on your wedding day is good luck. If you see one on any other day, it depends from which direction the cat comes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Meeting a chimney sweep \u2013 Arguably a little more likely a few decades ago, allegedly it is good luck to see a chimney sweep on your wedding day. Presumably you want to keep them a fair distance away from you, mind. You wouldn\u2019t want to get the soot on your wedding dress!<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Bad Omens<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If it rains &#8211; In order to get a rainbow, there has to be a bit of rain, surely? Perhaps the two cancel each other out.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A pig, hare or lizard running across the road \u2013 Quite why it\u2019s this trio of animals that are regarded as bad luck on your wedding day is anybody\u2019s guess. If you don\u2019t get married on a farm or in the desert then you should be okay!<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Seeing an open grave \u2013 It\u2019s fair to say if you see this on your wedding day, then it\u2019s sure to make you a little bit upset. That being said, the same would be true if you saw an open grave on any day so we advise ignoring this one. Unless the church has been double booked!<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Meeting a nun or a monk \u2013 This isn\u2019t technically a bad omen unless you\u2019re wanting children because apparently bumping into a nun or a monk on your wedding day foretells barrenness.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The groom dropping the wedding ring \u2013 Again, we aren\u2019t sure if this is a bad omen or simply bad luck. Imagine dropping the wedding band in front of all those people on the biggest day of your life!<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The bride tripping or falling over her front door \u2013 This is where the custom of the groom carrying the bride over the threshold comes from although what happens if the bride did trip or fall isn\u2019t quite known. Again, if it happened, it\u2019d be bad because somebody has just fallen over, which is never good.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are going to run you through some of the good omens and bad omens on your wedding day.
