Самая известная свадебная английская примета - кто поймает букет, тот вступит в брак следующим (Whoever catches the bouquet will be the next to marry). А во что еще верят англичане?
- If you wish to learn who your future husband is, then all you have to do is walk backwards while looking into a mirror held over your right shoulder.
- Another way to learn whom you will marry is to count thirteen stars on thirteen nights in a row. The next night you will dream of the one you will marry.
- If a dog follows you home, he is bringing you a new handsome husband.
- If a girl always has dirty elbows, it is a sign that she will marry a poor man.
- If a girl has hairy legs, it is a sign that she will marry a rich man.
- Whoever can make their index finger and their little finger meet will rule the home when they get married.
- Holding a wedding band held by a thread will help a pregnant woman decide the sex of her baby. If the ring moves in a circular motion the baby will be a girl. If the ring held by the thread moves in a straight line, either up and down or side to side, means the baby is a boy.
- Whoever is the sender of the third gift the bride-to-be opens will have a baby in the near future.
- All ribbons should be kept from the presents the bride-to-be opens.
- Good omens for a wedding day: seeing a rainbow, being wed on a sunny day, seeing a black cat, meeting a chimney sweep.
- Bad omen: seeing a pig, a rabbit, or a lizard run across the road, seeing an open grave, having a monk or nun tell the bride-to-be or the groom-to-be that the woman is barren.
