Do you think wearing wedding gown before the big day is bad?

I've been hearing about that since I was a child. And like many others, I feel scared trying on a wedding down if I am gonna get married. And I sometimes believed on that too. Although there were others who actually fitted their gowns but they're wedding day still happens. So I think it is up to the couple or the lady whether it is on her mind, well it might really happen.

hi jenith! i think all this is a myth, or is it? i have always heard "happy is the bride the sun shines on" and my first wedding was accompanied by rain showers before and after...and that marriage fell all apart...doomed by the rain clouds...also i have heard "marry in haste, repent in leisure" which could also be true...i think it doesn't matter so much what you wear or when you wear it but who you marry!

Most of woomen really doesn't want to wear their gown before the wedding because of the belief. Also, these are still shown in some TV shows or movies. but I heard once in the radio program that a designer advice to try or fit the wedding gown even before the wedding to see what necessary adjustments are needed.

It's like 'cursing' (cussing): if you only use the curse-words 'when you need to,' they retain their "power"; but if you say/hear `em too many times, they won't be "powerful" coming out of your mouth. Or like graduation-robes: if you wore them all the time, they wouldn't make you feel as "sacred" as they do when you wear them while walking up to get your diploma

I don't think so. It's actually a superstitious belief. Anyway, it's up to you to decide if you'll believe it. But for me.. it doesn't have any scientific explanation at all.

as a person who fitted the wedding gown before the big day, i can guarantee you nothing bad happens. :) and it's not only me who fitted the wedding gown before the big day, but also my cousin. :) and it's better you fit the gown, so that you will know if the gown really fits and no more changes to be done before the big day. have a nice day

That is silly. It would be better to try on the gown and make sure it fits right and have a lovely wedding day. I wonder if it is believed that trying on the gown is a sign of impatience. That would have a lot to do with a bad attitude that would hurt your marriage. Other than that it is just a myth. I would rather make sure my dress fit.

I don't exactly believed on it. It might be just a belief or coincidence. My mom in law is a tailor and she sewed wedding dress too. The owners asks me to fit the dress for them due to this belief that it is not good for them to fit the dress before the actual wedding day. So, I stand as the living mannequin for them

I definitely do not believe this one. It's just a dress!!! I mean, it's a special dress for an extremely special occasion . . . but still, wearing it before the wedding has no bearing on the marriage itself. I highly doubt a bad marriage would be caused by a person putting on that gown before taking their vows. I wore my dress when I bought it . . . otherwise, how would I have known that it fit me correctly?? I also wore it several times when I was having it altered for the same reasons. And now I'm ten years happily married!!!

I was the wedding organizer of my brother's wedding and i did every single thing for them and his wife including finding a couturier for the wedding gown. And the couturier had to measure her several times until the wedding gown is done but never put it on her. He was also the one who dressed her up just to make sure that the gown fits perfectly on the big day. Even the couturiers respect that belief and they go through measuring the bride rigorously and not making a single mistake. I personally, don't believe in that but it has been a part of the culture and i'm just respecting that as well. Don't want to jinx anything!

Actully it is a myth, superstitous, and old fashion system which some of our ancestor belief. For me if both the husband and wife to be loyal, love to each other it not happened.. it is their due to their life. If some situation happened definitely there are various reason but for sure not for fitting the gown before the event..

Good day Jenith, i have heard of this and also it is not good for the bride and the groom to look at each other before the wedding vow. The latter is more accepted but not to try wedding gown is quite not practical. What if on the wedding day the gown does not fit? Then the wedding will definetly will not happen cause what are you going to wear on that day then? Here is another version of wedding gown fitting before the wedding day that i have heard. My version is, if there is no wedding going to be held then trying the wedding gown is not good. Only do the fitting if there is a wedding going to happen

This only applies to those who believe in such superstitions. I don't think there is anyghing wrong with fitting your wedding dress.

hi Jenith, this is one of the most ridiculous statement I have heard..For my opinion its has to be a myth...How does trying on a wedding have any affect on how your matiage is going to be,, Maybe it sounds so ridiculous to me is because I am not superstitious...
