The Dress Code Myth
It is said that the bride should wear ‘Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue’ but there is a missing line that many don’t know.

Something old represents the bride’s past; something new her future; something borrowed is meant to be borrowed from a happily married couple which will bring good fortune. There is a saying “Marry in blue, lover be true” and blue is also known as the color of purity. The sixpence symbolized that the parents of the bride would provide wealth and financial security.
The Pearl Myth
According to the good luck version if a bride wears pearl then the pearls take her tears and she have a happy married life. But the bad luck version is pearls denote the tears of the bride which she will shed after her marriage.
The Position Myth
It is said that the bride should be on the left side on the groom so that the sword arm of the groom is free and he can protect her.
