the horseshoe during the wedding
the lucky day for weddings in ireland is new year's day
for good luck, a watch of irish lace is sewn into the bride's gown and then taken out to use for a baby bonnet
also the claddagh ring is still the standard irish wedding ring
marrying in may is considered bad luck, while marrying in april is good luck
receiving a bell as a gift or having bells for the guests to ring instead of tapping their glasses to get you to kiss - the ringing of bells is supposed to keep evil spirits away, restore harmony, and remind the two of their wedding vows
it is supposed to be bad luck for anyone to wear green at an irish wedding
a man is supposed to be the first to wish you joy at your wedding
it is good luck if it rains on your wedding
a married woman puts your vail on for you
the top tier of your cake is to be an irish whisky cake which is used at your baby's first christening

The bride carries a special hanky that with a few stitches can be turned into a christening bonnet for the first baby.
