(on or off) BEFORE she walks down the aisle at the wedding? I just bought my wedding dress yesterday, and my fiancee keeps asking me all sorts of questions as far as what it looks like, how much did it cost, can I see it, blah blah blah. I keep telling him about the "tradition"-that it's bad luck for him to see the dress or me in it before the wedding. The wedding is not till next May by the way!
And one more thing, not trying to stereotype at all, but he is Asian (Chinese) and I am white. He is very Americanized, has been in this country since he was in elementary school and became a citizen at 18, but I was curious if it may be a cultural thing?

I am Asian also and I was born in Staten Island, New York but I married my husband who came to America when he was 16... To the chinese it is not bad luck to see the bride's dress ....... Usually we first take pictures in advance in our wedding dress and tuxedo and also make the video before the wedding.. But to the Americans it does consider bad luck to see the dress before the wedding.. You can tell him that probably he doesn't know...

It's a tradition. Tell him it will ruin the whole effect of seeing you in the dress on the big day. Tell him it will be something worth waiting for.

i think it's only bad luck if he sees you in it, but it would probably be ok to let him see it
