Many marriage rituals are meant to offer luck to the happy couple, while others are meant to protect them from spirits who may wish them a not-so-happy future.
You will need: engagement and wedding rings, a veil, bridesmaids, a kiss, and a strong husband.
Optional: something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and herbs.
Step 1: Wear the engagement and wedding ring on the fourth finger of the left hand. [-------1-------]
Brides wear “something old” as a connection to the past, combined with “something new,” for the future. “Something borrowed” from a happy bride would ensure good luck, while “something blue” symbolizes faithfulness, fidelity, and good luck, and wards off evil spirits to boot.
Step 2: [-------2-------] Ancient Roman and Greek brides wore veils as protection from evil spirits that sought to harm them because they were envious of happy people.
Put herbs in your bridal bouquet. In ancient times, bouquets were a mixture of flowers and herbs because strong-smelling herbs would ward off evil spirits, bad luck, and ill health.
Step 3: Confuse the spirits with decoy bridesmaids. [-------3-------]
Step 4: Seal your love with a kiss. During Roman times, all legal contracts were sealed with a kiss. [-------4-------]
Step 5: Carry the bride across the threshold. In ancient times it was considered unlucky if the bride were to trip while crossing into her new home, or enter with her left foot. [-------5-------] Follow these superstitions and enjoy a happy marriage.
Did you know? England’s Queen Victoria married in a white gown in 1840 and originated the Western tradition that has lasted to this day. Before then, brides simply wore their best dress.
