3 Wedding Superstitions You Didn’t Know
Couples embrace unique and personal ways of relaying their love stories and getting bound; we see this in the exchange of vows and dances.
But that still doesn’t mean there aren’t others who wouldn’t instead go the traditional routes. It could be for the fun of it or because they genuinely believe these traditions symbolize good things that could help their union.
Either way, both traditional and personal wedding activities are great and fun. Regardless, we’re here to share some of these wedding traditions and their meanings!
● A White Dress
The tradition of the brides wearing white dresses for their weddings dates back to Queen Victoria.
She had opted for a white wedding dress to show off the floundering Honiton lace, by the British lace company, at the time. And ever since then, brides have adapted it for weddings!
Another reason for a white dress is to symbolize the virtue and purity of the bride before her marriage.
● Rain
Many couples tend to get sad when the cloud darkens on their wedding day. Yet, according to some cultures, rain at your wedding entails good fortune.
It’s supposed to denote cleansing and fertility; it goes further to reassure a clean slate for a new beginning.
● Adding A Veil
Contrary to what current fashion dictates, veils were used by the ancient Romans and Greeks to prevent the brides from curses of witches or evil spirits. The veils deterred these malevolent entities from stealing the bride’s happiness.
In other traditions, veils were used to symbolize the virginity and purity of brides. That’s the reason brides cover their faces with them.
