Parshas Mishpatim
תמים תהי' עם ה' אלוקך
Frum
Yidden trust in Hashem & have no fear of witchcraft
The
Sefer שלחן העזר quotes the סהמ"ט* (I don't know the Roshei Teivos- Please help)
"Chasanim & Kallos before walking down to the Chupa
untie all the knots they are wearing.
The
reason for doing so is to prevent from כשפים (witchcraft) which might
put a spell on the couple and prevent them from having relations.
Another
option of making this witchcraft ineffective is by placing a piece of gold or a
gold coin in the Chosson's pocket.
The
above is not a Minhag but a Segula people adopted to prevent
witchcraft from harming them.
The יראים
& תמימים (who fear & trust Hashem) rely on תמים תהי' עם ה'
אלוקך & שומר מצוה לא ידע דבר רע (Don't bother unknotting)"
*I
suspect this Sefer to be the Mokor (origin) of this Minhag
