Facts Behind The Wedding Customs
Wedding
Gowns
–
The
symbol
of
purity
History
dates
white
wedding
gowns
back
to
1840,
when
Queen
Victoria
made
white
the
bridal
colour
of
choice
when
she
wed
Prince
Albert.
However
in
17th
century,
red
colour
was
a
favorite
in
Europe.
Other
colors
were
worn
for
symbolic
reasons,
for
instance
blue
meant
constancy
and
green
meant
youth.
As
years
passed,
white
was
worn
as
a
symbol
of
purity.
Veil-
The
symbol
of
mystique
and
romance
It
is
believed
that
originally,
the
veil
was
worn
to
show
modesty
and
were
worn
at
the
ceremony
as
a
symbol
of
her
promise
to
obey
her
husband.
The
veil
dates
back
to
ancient
Rome,
when
it
was
flame-yellow,
always
worn
over
the
face,
and
called
a
flammeum.
The
bouquet
of
flowers
–
The
disguised
blessings
Imagine
walking
down
the
aisle
with
garlic,
herbs
and
grains.
Well!
If
it
wasn't
replaced
with
a
bunch
of
beautiful
flowers,
we
would
still
have
the
same
tradition.
It
was
believed
that
garlic,was
supposed
to
ward
off
evil
spirits
and
the
herbs
or
grains
were
to
insure
a
fruitful
union.
After
few
decades
the
tradition
was
replaced
with
flowers
to
symbolize
fertility
and
eternal
love.
In
ancient
Poland,
it
was
believed
that
sprinkling
sugar
on
the
bride's
bouquet
kept
her
temper
sweet.
The
Wedding
Ring-
Make
your
way
towards
my
heart
Wedding
ring
is
usually
worn
on
the
fourth
finger
of
the
left
hand.
It
relates
to
traditions
supposedly
dating
to
classical
times,
that
the
finger
contains
the
"vein
of
love".
By
wearing
rings
on
the
fourth
finger
of
their
left
hands,
a
married
couple
symbolically
declare
their
eternal
love
for
each
other.
However in countries like Germany, Greece, some parts of India, Russia, Poland, Columbia, Spain and Venezuela, it's worn in the right hand. A traditional reason to wear the wedding ring on the right hand stems from Roman custom. According to them, the Latin word for left is "sinister", which in addition to this sense also has the same senses as the English word. The Latin word for right is "dexter", a word that evolved into "dexterity". Hence, the left hand had a negative connotation and the right a good one.
Wedding
Cake
-
Symbolizes
fertility
or
abundance
Ancient
romans
broke
a
cake
over
the
brides
head
to
symbolize
fertility
or
abundance.
Some
other
cultures
dropped
wheat,
flour
or
cake
on
the
bride's
head,
and
then
ate
the
crumbs
for
good
luck.
As
the
years
rolled
by
with
some
varied
addition
and
deletion
of
customs
the
tiered
wedding
cake
was
born.
The
first
kiss
of
union
The
kiss
that
is
given
by
the
bride
to
the
groom
at
the
end
of
the
wedding
ceremony
originates
from
the
earliest
times
when
the
couple
would
actually
make
love
for
the
first
time
in
midst
of
the
onlookers
with
praise.
It
was
believed
the
first
kiss
that
they
shared
would
make
couples
exchange
spirits
with
their
breath
and
even
part
of
their
souls.
