"Until relatively recently, brides were considered the property of their father. Their futures and husbands were arranged without their consent. The marriage of an unattractive woman was often arranged with a prospective groom from another town without either of them having ever seen their prospective spouse. In more than one instance, when the groom saw his future wife, usually dressed in white, for the first time on the day of the wedding, he changed his mind and left the bride at the altar. To prevent this from happening, it became "bad luck" for the groom to see the bride on the day of the wedding prior to the ceremony." - From  http://www.weddings-and-honeymoons.net/wedding_dresses.htm

Also, the notion of how much money was blown on a dress (and ridiculous hat :) ) to be worn for one day can be life threatening to the average adult male.

Thanks JMayfan219. That's just one more strange thing people believe.
