No one wants to hear the sound of a mirror breaking into a hundred places. (35) ….. This
superstition is believed to have originated with the Roman, who were the first to create glass mirrors.
Horseshoes are believed to be a lucky charm in many cultures. This is likely because they were once

off bad luck.

Have you ever wondered why bells are always associated with weddings and special occasions?

good luck and may bring you riches. (39) …..

something blue’? This popular wedding tradition is said to have originated during the Victorian era and
involves giving the bride various gifts. (40) ….. The third is borrowed and symbolises borrowed happiness
