Vintage WeddingNice Old Fashioned Wedding HairstyleThis superstition exists also in Philadelphia, no doubt carried there by some of our own countrymen. In the South of England it is regarded as unlucky for a bride about to go to the church to look in the glass after she is completely dressed.
Hence, very great care is taken to put on a glove or some article after the last lingering and reluctant look has been taken in the mirror. The idea is that any young lady who is too fond of the looking-glass will be unlucky when married. It is a Yorkshire belief, and by no means a pleasant one, that whoever goes to sleep first on the marriage night, will be sure to die first; this, they say, is as true as Scripture. Hence, as may be imagined, few dare to close their eyes at such a prophetical time, and so by keeping awake leave in uncertainty that dismal piece of information which otherwise would be foretold to them.
