This superstition suggests that a bride must not retain any of the pins used to secure her clothing or veil on her wedding day. Traditionally, these pins would be given away to unmarried friends or discarded immediately following the ceremony. The belief warns that keeping the pins could interfere with marital happiness or attract female misfortune, such as infertility or discord. In some cultural interpretations, the act of discarding these pins symbolizes letting go of maidenhood and making way for the new chapter of married life. In others, pinning memories to the past by keeping these small metallic objects is thought to cling to old identities, causing disharmony in the marital union. Bridesmaids might be responsible for removing and handling the pins to help avoid accidental bad luck if forgotten.
