Are any brides who are not ordinarily superstitious, but are nonetheless following any wedding-related superstitions?
There are some culturally-originating superstitions in the family I am marrying into. Although I do not personally feel that anything ominous will happen if I do or fail to do such-and-such, I find myself respecting these little traditional superstitions all the same, maybe just to avoid the criticism/teasing for not being aware of them. (Or heaven forbid something does go wrong, and somehow it will be attributed to my failure to respect the superstition!)
Anyone else following suit or abiding by any superstitions of your own?

What do you mean by superstitions? I’m doing the whole old/new/borrowed/blue thing, I don’t know if that counts as superstition or as tradition, or just something dumb to do for fun.
I’m doing the old/new/borrowed/blue thing as well, and I’m not letting the FI see me in my dress ahead of time. Other than that, what is there?
Not spending the night before the wedding together.
I’m getting married on a friday the 13th. 
Seriously, my FSIL got engaged two months after my FI and I did. Apparently, it’s bad luck for people in the same immediate family to get married in the same year, so we’re letting them get married first, in October of this year, and we’re waiting until summer of next year.
For example — some Filipino superstitions:

Not trying on the dress before the wedding — impossible. But I did skip registering for knives…
I am planning on using our “married” monogram on our invites, which is supposedly bad luck… I sure hope it isn’t so cross your fingers for me!
getting married in May is suppose to mean bad luck in Slovakia. Also buying your own pearl jewerly, you can only get pearls as a gift.
If you see a cat sneeze on your wedding day, it’s supposed to be good luck.
Too bad I have a dog!
