Wedding Etiquiette
Behind every wedding tradition lies a story…. Just to have an idea: "Something Old" comes from the garter of a married woman. "Something New" is your wedding dress.
"Something Borrowed" is a gold coin that represents the sun. "Something Blue" symbolizes the moon (In ancient times, the goddess of the moon, Diana, served as the protector of women)…….
You wear your wedding ring on the fourth finger of your left hand because it was said that "...from this finger a nerve went direct to the heart." Italian weddings always have "confetti" which are sugared almonds. This signifies the bitter-sweetness of marriage (the almond being bitter and the sugar sweet). There is always an odd number given for luck.
The Bouquet must be a groom's gift. His duty is to order and give in due time the bouquet to the bride. Should the bouquet do not be given by the groom, it must be given to a bride relatives and never to bride directly.
