Southern California Brides : Forget Something Blue--Spot a Lizard for Luck
Are you the superstitious bride or groom type, making sure your marriage mojo is a go-go before you utter “I do”?
If you are, we’ve got nuptial news for you: avoiding ladders, black cats and cracks on sidewalks is wimpy stuff compared with what author Dona Chernoff Eichner has uncovered in her book “Getting Hitched Without a Hitch: How to Plan a Dream Wedding in the Real World,” (Andrews McMeel Publishing, 1999, $12.95).
Check this out before you check in on your wedding day:
