The groom, as the secondary figure in the day's ceremonies, escapes
very easily as far as superstition goes, and may do pretty well what he
pleases, save letting his hat or the ring drop, both of which are very
unlucky. He should carry a tiny horseshoe in his pocket, and fee the
clergyman with an odd sum of money.
No one ought to hand him or his bride a telegram on the way to church,
and if he wishes to be master in his own house, then he must take care
to see her before she has time to catch a glimpse of him ere arriving
at the altar.
