Liza: [gasping] Mia! Please tell me you’re joking. You tried on your wedding dress already?!
Mia: Relax, Liza. Just a fitting. The tailor needs to know if I can breathe in it or not.
Liza: That’s exactly how it starts. Next thing you know, the wedding gets canceled. You know the rule—never wear the wedding dress before the wedding.
Mia: The rule according to who? My seamstress? Because she insists on it.
Liza: According to my lola, my tita, and basically every woman in my family. My cousin tried hers on early. Boom—engagement ended three months later.
Mia: Or… boom—her fiancé realized they weren’t compatible? Correlation isn’t causation, Liza.
Liza: There you go again with your science words. Explain that to heartbreak.
Mia: Okay, then explain this: thousands of brides try on wedding dresses multiple times—for fittings, photos, adjustments—and still get married just fine.
Liza: But you don’t hear about the unlucky ones. People don’t like to talk about failed weddings.
Mia: Or maybe we only remember the stories that fit the superstition. That’s confirmation bias. If something bad happens, we blame the dress. If nothing happens, we forget it ever mattered.
Liza: You make it sound like our traditions are just… imagination.
Mia: Not imagination. More like symbolic warnings. Back then, maybe trying on the dress early meant bragging, or tempting fate, or creating pressure. But today? It’s just fabric and stitches.
Liza: Still… what if the universe is watching? Like, “Oh, you wore it early? Cancelled.”
Mia: If the universe is that petty, I think we have bigger problems than my wedding.
Liza: [laughs] You’re impossible. But I worry because I care. I don’t want anything bad to happen to you.
Mia: I know. And I appreciate that. That’s the real power here—not the dress. Your concern, your support.
Liza: So you’re saying my worrying is useless?
Mia: Not useless. Just better used reminding me to eat, sleep, and not trip walking down the aisle.
Liza: Hmm. Maybe I’ll compromise. I won’t panic… but I’ll still whisper a little prayer, just in case.
Mia: Deal. Science and superstition can coexist—as long as neither cancels the wedding.
Liza: Fine. But if anything goes wrong, I’m blaming the dress.
Mia: And if everything goes right, I’m blaming good tailoring.
Liza: [smiling] Fair enough.
