Marriage Dresses Why they are White and Other Marriage Lore.

In traditional times brides wore bright coloured marriage dresses to suggest their joy. White dresses never did indicate purity till the Christian churches put that label on them. They ultimately slid out of favor, replaced by sturdy metals till about the fifteenth century when diamonds came upon the scene, to signify a valuable powerful commitment, a practice which most modern couples decide to keep.

In traditional Rome a wedding wasn't legal till the couple kissed. This is assumed to be the origin of today custom of banging a spoon against a glass till the newlyweds kiss. You would like the ideal marriage dress, so you made it a major focus of your pre marriage planning. Once these questions have been answered and you find a dress or 2 that you like, there are still more questions you want to ask. Be wary of any shop that will not give you straight answers or written guesses. When you think you have found just the right dress, ask if they can hold it for a day or 2, then return home wait at least 34 hours and go back for another look. Danish brides and grooms used to confound the malicious spirits by cross-dressing. In Roman mythology the god Juno rules over birth, wedding and the hearth. These things provide continuity from generation to generation. http://www.your-wedding-favor.com/wedding-chair-covers-and-sash-bows/
