Traditions:
Wedding Veil: The wedding veil hides the bride's beauty and wards off evil spirits. Another explanation is that during the times of arranged marriages the bride's face would be covered until the groom had commited to the marriage.
Sux to be this groom if the bride is ugly.. lol but i do like the warding off evil spirit idea. however i think my bridezillaness and need for perfection will accomplishing this on my wedding day!
Where to stand: The bride stands on the left of the groom during the marriage ceremony to allow his sword arm to be free ready to fight off other men who may want her as their bride.
HAHAHAHAHA need i say more
Dropping the wedding ring: This is a contradictory wedding myth. The positive myth is that dropping the wedding ring during the ceremony shakes out the evil spirits. The negative aspect, is that whoever drops the ring is said to be the first to die.
:note to self, keep rings ON FINGER:.... or ill die??? :(
Wedding gifts: Wedding gifts are bought by the guests have replaced the custom of bringing fruits that used to encourage fertility.
I will not turn down good fruit... but could ya but a dollar in the card ;) hehe Just kidding!
Favours:The tradition of giving guests something to remember the day by in the form of favours has been around for hundreds of years. Today, the tradition has evolved to giving each guest five sugar coated almonds to symbolise health, wealth, fertility, happiness and long-life.
Sorry dont care about your health, wealth, fertility, happiness or length of your life, you are NOT getting almonds!... yuck! Who does that?!!?! hehe SR ;)
my obsession.
Just me.
