Here is a list of some of the most common wedding day superstitions and what they mean:



*Tossing the bouquet- whoever catches the bouquet is the next to marry



*Feeding each other cake- ensures you'll always be there to take care of each other



*"Something old"- symbolizes continuity with the bride's family and the past


*"Something new"- means optimism and hope for the bride's new life ahead


*"Something borrowed"- is usually an item from a happily married friend or family member, whose good fortune in marriage is supposed to carry over to the new bride


*In ancient Rome, brides wore blue to symbolize love, modesty, and fidelity


*A silver sixpence in the bride's shoe- represents wealth and financial security



*The original purpose of bridesmaids was to confuse evil spirits so they wouldn't know which woman was the bride
