Including wedding traditions in your ceremony can create
lasting memories for the bride, the groom and your families. We tend to
take our customs for granted but each tradition, each tiny practice we use
has been passed on from generation to generation, and has some sort of
rationale behind it. Whether the tradition came from common sense or
superstition, you can usually find generations of your family who
have used them. And fond recollections will walk hand and hand as you
remember them one day.

A
Victorian Rhyme about what to wear at your wedding.
Something Old Something
New
Something Borrowed Something Blue
And a sixpence in your shoe!
Adding something old to the bridal attire is not
only said to link the bride's new life with the old, but
if something old is used, it must be from a woman who is
happily married to pass on the happiness in married life
to the new bride.
Something new is supposed to bring good fortune
to the new bride and is usually the gown or shoes.
Something borrowed is usually from a friend to
show the friendship will continue. If it is gold, it
will ensure the bride will have good fortune.
Blue is a symbol of fidelity and purity. Adding
something blue symbolizes the bride's integrity.
Adding a sixpence in a bride's shoe is supposed
to bring financial wealth and happiness throughout the
marriage. |

 ...And
other romantic words about marriage.
Came but for
friendship, and took away love.
- Thomas Moore -
This day I will
marry my friend,
the one I laugh with, live for, dream with, love
- Unknown -
The eternal
summer of our love
will not fade...
- Unknown -
Love knows no
limit to its endurance
no end to its trust,
Love still stands
when all else has fallen
- 1 Corinthians 13:7-8 -
Love is composed of a single
soul inhabiting two bodies.
~ Aristotle
To keep your marriage brimming, with love in the wedding cup, whenever
you're wrong, admit it; whenever you're right, shut up.
~ Ogden Nash
Two such as you with such a master speed cannot be parted nor be swept
away from one another once you are agreed that life is only life forevermore
together wing to wing and oar to oar.
~ Robert Frost
Two souls with but a single thought,
Two hearts that beat as one.
~ Friedrich Halm
Marriage is an Athenic weaving together of families, of two
souls with their individual fates and destinies, of time and eternity--everyday
life married to the timeless mysteries of the soul. -
Thomas Moore
- We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an
imperfect person perfectly.
- -- Anonymous

Did you know. . .the father giving away the bride comes
from a time when the daughters were considered property. For a
price, the bride would be given to the groom. |
