Wedding Tradition Why the Bride and Groom don't see each other before the wedding!

Here is another wedding tradition! You know I love them haha!

This time its why the bride and groom can't see each other before the wedding!

This tradition dates back to the days of arranged marriages, when marriage was more of a business arrangement than something done for love. The couple weren’t allowed to see each other before the ceremony for fear they’d pull out of the marriage!

Today, it’s simply seen as unlucky to see your other half on the morning of your wedding – but since you’re not partaking in a business deal, we’re pretty sure you shouldn’t be worried! Most people just choose not to see their spouse to build up excitement and give them a surprise when they walk down the aisle looking so beautiful.

Why the Bride stands to the left of the Groom

I feel another wedding tradition coming one 😀😀

As you know weddings are steeped in traditions and I like to find about about them!

This time it's about why the Bride stands to the left of the Groom so here goes!

The bride stands to the left of the groom during the wedding ceremony so that the groom can protect her with his left arm and use his sword with the right.

Traditionally, the groom would need to fight anyone who was trying to steal his wife – mostly members of her own family, since it was common for them to think she’d be “stolen”!

I hope that doesn't happen at any weddings that I have the pleasure of photographing!

Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue

I haven't posted a wedding tradition for quite a while so I thought I would do a post about Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue!

“Something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue” is an age-old Victorian rhyme. Something old represents the bride’s family and the past. Many brides choose to wear a piece of family jewellery.

Something new represents good fortune and success in the bride’s new life. The wedding dress often is the new item.

Something borrowed reminds the bride that her family and friends will be there for her when help is needed. The borrowed object might be something small, such as lace handkerchief or a hair pin.

The something blue symbolises faithfulness and loyalty. The tradition dates back to biblical times when blue represented purity. Often, the bride’s garter has a blue ribbon on it, making that the blue item.

Another tradition is that of a “silver sixpence in your shoe”. This tradition is said to bring the couple wealth and happiness during their life together, and was originally a sign that the bride’s father had sent the couple well wishes.

I hope that you enjoyed this bit of wedding trivia!
