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:
Good-Luck Charms
* The bride should wear old underwear.
* She should milk a cow in her wedding dress.
* The bride or groom should spot a lizard, dove, frog, goat, or lamb on the way to the wedding.

* The bride must dance every dance.
