We all know the superstition that it's 'unlucky' for the groom to see the bride (or her dress!) before the wedding day. The bride and groom are meant to avoid each other at all costs.
So one inventive wife-tobe went the extra mile and created an unusual wedding dress cover to guarantee she could stay hidden before she walked down the aisle. The blushing bride Rachel Kwon shared her video on Instagram, and over the video it read: "I made this contraption so my husband and guests wouldn't see me before I walked down the aisle", followed by a bride emoji.
In the comments, she explained that her wedding took place in South Korea, where it's custom to allow everyone to see you and take photos with you before the wedding.

She wanted to stick to American custom, however, which she described as: "hiding out before the wedding and revealing your look/dress as you walk down the aisle".
Rachel, who also goes by @rachelheheh on TikTok, mentioned in the comments section that her friend came up with the idea of using an umbrella to hide her - it certainly does the job.
Many people complimented her contraption, with one writing: "Keeping my wedding dress hidden until I walk down the aisle is something that would be really important to me.
"When you marry a different culture it's important to incorporate both traditions, those are really important when you marry. Great job!"
Someone replied to her comment mentioning it could be bad luck to see the bride, and another shared their own experience of trying to hide their family member.
She wrote: "My cousin almost had a panic attack at her wedding because her now-husband was anxious and pacing by the window to where she was at.
"She was terrified he would see her and it would cause bad luck to their whole marriage and they'd end up divorced in a couple of years. The hardest part as a bridesmaid was blocking the window so he couldn't see in!"
Others were sceptical though, commenting: "Bestie it's never that serious."
People were quick to defend Rachel, who also uses YouTube, writing: "Damn, you get so many bitter Karens that hate life commenting on your stuff. This makeshift thingy looks dope!"
