Topic: news Bad Luck in China: Avoid These Superstitions if You Can

I recently married a swell Chinese gal and was told that my pregnant coworker would not be allowed to attend our wedding because being with child at a wedding is also bad luck. I'm not sure I got the entire meaning behind the reason but I was told that it would be TOO much happiness/luck in one place and that it would affect my wife's chances for future conception as the happiness of the baby and the happiness of the wedding would collide...I then heard from another friend that a similar situation happened in her family. At the wedding of a cousin, there was a pregnant woman who had not yet announced she was carrying. After the wedding, the new couple was having difficulties conceiving and by that time the pregnant guest was outed as being pregnant at their wedding. This family blamed the pregnant woman entirely for the problems facing the new couple！
