Superstitious Fi

So FI and I both had a day off together today and I was thinking it would be a perfect time to go get our marriage license from city hall. My brother was even willing to babysit for us. But no, supposedly he has a superstition that getting the marriage license too early is bad luck, I don't know how long he wants to wait, but he works 2 hours away and is gone 4 days a week, and he just got promoted to supervisor so he may have to go in with short notice on his days off. Plus I am currently working 3 part time jobs and rarely have a day off at all, but he said "don't worry, we'll find time to do it." 

I also asked him today when he will be getting his ring because we are getting close, and he said he already has it. I asked why he didn't tell me and told him I want to see it. But he is also superstitious about me seeing the ring before the wedding. I guess its bad luck for me to see it before the ceremony?

Has anyone else ever heard of these superstitions? He hasn't asked for much with the wedding so I'm giving in to him on this stuff, but I won't lie, I am a bit annoyed about him not wanting to get the license out of the way.

Re: Superstitious Fi

  • I've never heard of those superstitions. It just sounds like he has his own idea of how certain things should go. I think I'd be offended by both of those points, but you know your FI better than me.
  • I've definitely never heard of that. Just be sure that you get it in time for it to be valid. You have to wait a week between receiving it and actually being able to use it in a lot of places.

    Um, I've never heard of any of these superstitions either... is this normal for him to be this way??

  • I've never heard of those superstitions either, and I have to ask too, is this normal behavior for your FI?
