Tradition:
It was considered to be very lucky to see a gray
horse en route to the Church. It was believed to be even luckier if the
Brides carriage was drawn by a gray horse. The luckiest horseshoes came
from the hind feet of a Gray Mare. This is where the tradition of a
"LUCKY HORSESHOE" being carried by the Bride comes from.
The U shape of the Horseshoe is also very important.
The Horseshoe must be hung by the ribbons for the luck to remain in. If
the Horseshoe is turned upside down, all of the good luck of the marriage
will fall out.
