Wedding traditions & symbols
Something Blue:Symbolises faithfulness and loyalty and dates back to biblical times when blue represented purity. Frequently the bride's garter is the blue item. A Silver Sixpence in her Shoe is to wish the bride wealth, both financial and happiness.
Wearing pearls:To some, pearls represent future tears and are a bad sign. However, to others, the wearing of pearls takes the place of the bride's real tears, thus she'll have a happy, tear-free wedded life.
Seeing the bride:It is good luck for the groom not to see the dress before the wedding day. It will bring more luck if he does not glance at the dress as the bride walks down the aisle.
After the ceremony The threshold: Carrying the bride over the threshold protects her from any evil spirits that may be lurking in the new home.
