There are some interesting superstitions in the U.K. that are still believed to this day.
如今，英国仍然有人相信一些有趣的迷信。
1. A bride should wear white, and so should her bridesmaids
1．新娘要穿白色，伴娘也要穿白色
Queen Victoria popularized the white wedding dress when she wed in 1840. Before, brides just wore their best dress for the ceremony. In the U.S., women are told never to wear white out of respect to the bride and to not detract attention from her on her big day, but the tradition is different in the U.K. An old superstition advises bridesmaids and groomsmen to dress similarly to the bride and groom to ward off evil spirits.
1840年，维多利亚女王在结婚时穿着了白色的婚纱，带来了白色婚纱的潮流。在此之前，新娘会直接穿着她们最好的衣服来参加典礼。在美国，出于对新娘的尊重和避免在大喜之日抢走她的风头，女性被告知不要穿白色衣服，但英国的风俗不是这样。古老的迷信要求伴娘和伴郎的着装要与新娘新郎相同，以达到辟邪的目的。
2. Spiders aren't scary
2．蜘蛛不可怕
If you find one in your wedding dress it is said to be good luck! Bad luck would be encountering a funeral on your way to the wedding.
如果在婚纱上发现了蜘蛛，据说你要交好运了！但在参加婚礼的路上碰到葬礼是不吉利的。
3. Invite a chimney sweep
3．邀请烟囱清洁工
Their attendance at a wedding is also considered good luck! Apparently King George III was riding his horse in a royal procession when a dog bit the horse's legs and made the king completely lose control of his ride. A man rushed out to help and then disappeared into the crowd. When the king later went back to thank the man for saving his life, all he found out was that he was a chimney sweep.
烟囱清洁工来参加婚礼也被认为是可以带来好运的！据说，国王乔治三世在骑马巡游时，一条狗咬伤了马腿，于是国王完全失去对马的控制。这时一个人冲上来帮忙，然后迅速消失在人群中。国王后来感谢他的救命恩人时发现，这个人是一名烟囱清洁工。
