The symbolism of some popular at weddings rites
Some customs that we use in our wedding we bring from our ancestors and forefathers, but like everything else, have their origin and meaning interesting or at least unusual. Today I will tell you some rituals that we used in the current marriage and almost nobody believes in them but are still being made.
ring is the symbol more important in the wedding ritual, is the symbol par excellence . The ring must be placed on the ring finger of his left hand, this custom comes from the Greeks, who believed that the vein in this finger was connected directly to the heart. If we focus on its form, being a circular, symbolizing that love has no end. Preferably, the rings should be gold, to show that love is strong and noble as this material.
The white color Bride costume : according to some investigations, was introduced by the Romans and later found by the Queen Victoria of England in the twentieth century. As regards the imposition of this color in the wedding dress, our western culture should be advised that white, symbolizing purity and virginity. However, until the sixth century, brides married silver (now the most daring start using it, particularly I love how everything is just the dress or veil). In other cultures, such as Islam, the bride must wear black (it's a different color every day asking for more girlfriends), and in China and Japan use the red. Today
although still dominated by white and not just to represent the purity and virginity, but because they simply like and is the color reserved for the bride, is also setting trends the ivory and other colors such as champagne for the less conventional and riskier.
The blue, the used, new and borrowed : According to an old English tradition, the bride should wear something blue because the color of fidelity, which is used as it shows the emotional bond between his family and the her future husband, something new, because it is the beginning of a new life with her lover and hope to start a happy life, and something borrowed, which symbolizes friendship, if someone can be happy all the better for happiness is drawn using something from someone who is happy.
Rice: The significance of throwing rice at the newlywed couple is to wish prosperity, but above all things is a sign of fertility, they want to have many children to perpetuate their union . In some societies the item varies and use rice instead of other things, for example in Morocco throw raisins, dates and figs while China will launch fireworks and confetti. In India the white rice not thrown but is dyed different colors. Sometimes the rice is replaced by rose petals, but have the same meaning. A ritual with different elements but with same symbolism and for the same purpose: prosperity and fertility.
cards: Another custom which was once common is the wedding to send two cards: one announcing the ceremony without incurring invitation to hold back, just did involve known and the second link uninvited addition to the banquet. Now this custom is only kept in the royal wedding or State. At some weddings
current is sent first to all known to participate as witnesses to the Sacramento and a second invitation to the banquet only for very close friends and family. It is a way to save and make more intimate weddings. Of course, if you do this formula is very good that you do two coats, a very regal for the Sacramento and a cheerful and modern for the banquet.
shoes: they are the subject of many superstitions, according to tradition.
The bride should wear a paper on the right shoe with the names of her friends marriageable and then burn it after the ceremony, so they have a good omen to be married within a year, while on the left take a coin to attract wealth and prosperity in marriage.
course there are more folk customs that are still used, each one has to introduce in the wedding creating major or invent new ones. Someday I'll write about the true meaning of the wedding ritual.
