Pearls On The Wedding Day

There's a belief that brides should not wear pearls during her wedding day. I thought that applied to guests. Apparently not.

On my cousin's wedding day, my mom wanted me to wear a set of pearl jewelry that she's been keeping for me. I was surprised and told her about the belief. She told me that the belief only applies to the bride herself and not to the guests.

I ended up not wearing those pearls on that day, though, because I was afraid that some people might interpret that belief the way I did and take it the wrong way. I do not want to have misunderstandings over old beliefs and jewelry.
