The bride should wear one of the following:
\nSomething old:<\/b>\u00a0a link to the bride\u2019s family and her old life;
\nSomething new:<\/b>\u00a0invite fortune and success during this new life;
\nSomething borrowed:<\/b>\u00a0lucky charm for the couple;.
\nSomething blue:\u00a0<\/b>reference to biblical times \u2013 purity and fidelity.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Six pences<\/b>\u00a0(at a current value of $1.00)
\nIf placed by the father of the bride in her left shoe, should bring fortune.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

During the\u00a0Middle Ages,<\/b>\u00a0to reflect non acceptable actions, a\u00a0straw ring<\/b>\u00a0was used to marry the couples that were obligated to wed due to early consummation of the marriage. They were united in Paris, in one of the small churches, Ste-Martine.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

During\u00a0Orthodox<\/b>\u00a0ceremonies, the groom wears a\u00a0gold ring<\/b>\u00a0symbolizing the sun and the bride wears a\u00a0silver ring<\/b>\u00a0symbolizing the moon.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The\u00a0Hindu<\/b>\u00a0marriage is delicate and colourful. The preparations are complex and the marriage is\u00a0sacred.<\/b>\u00a0A Hindu God always has a wife. Siva is never represented alone; his companion Parvatti is always by his side. As a result, the traditional wedding is themost important ritual<\/b>\u00a0to inspire the person\u2019s life from birth to death. The wedding may last several days and is celebrated before or after the harvesting and at an acceptable date in the Hindu calendar.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The\u00a0tchang da\u00ef<\/b>\u00a0ritual (tie the hands with a cotton link), is a ritual used in Laos,Vietnam<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0Cambodia<\/b>. This ritual is a symbol of happiness and represents a mystical link. The bonds must only be removed on the day following the marriage.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the\u00a0Maoris of New Zealand<\/b>, the ring is an\u00a0engraved bone<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The\u00a0Swedish<\/b>\u00a0tradition is that after the exchange of vows, the newlyweds mutually tiethree ribbons<\/b>\u00a0on their ring finger. The first one as a sign of their commitment, the second on as a sign of their alliance and the third is a promise of maternity.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In\u00a0Porto Rico<\/b>, a\u00a0doll dressed up as a bride<\/b>\u00a0like the one celebrating is placed in the middle of the table of honour. Miniature copies are offered to each guest as a souvenir of the wedding.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the\u00a0Philippines<\/b>\u00a0and in\u00a0Armenia<\/b>, two doves are released during the marriage ceremony. By releasing the birds, the couple identifies their commitment to spreading peace.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Provide your guests with a large container of\u00a0rose, lavender<\/b>\u00a0or\u00a0rosemary scented water<\/b>, where they may dip there hands before the ceremony. It is for all a symbol of the purification of the heart.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You may offer your grand-parents a\u00a0cup of tea\u00a0<\/b>(or a rose) with respect to your elders in recognition of the\u00a0values\u00a0<\/b>they will or have left behind.<\/span><\/p>\n

Baskets filled with\u00a0scarves<\/b>\u00a0(while muslin) and handed out to your guests. Each guest will receive one and pass it on to his neighbour while embracing this person. The scarves are passed on to each guest. The newlyweds exchange their scarves. This Provencal tradition is a symbol of\u00a0peace, commitment and love<\/b>. \/p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When leaving the ceremony as husband and wife, you may\u00a0cut a ribbon<\/b>\u00a0as a symbol of the beginning of your new life.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In\u00a0Japan<\/b>, to wish happiness to someone, we offer those\u00a0grains of rice<\/b>\u00a0coloured inred<\/b>. In the following ceremony the Shintoist ritual is a form of Imperial Japanese. This is a very important day where people may wear kimonos not worn on a typical day. It is the moment to create a solid bond with the past.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You may walk\u00a0barefoot<\/b>\u00a0on the road to your new life to be closer to the earth or simply for the pleasure of a sensual and reassuring physical contact.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You may\u00a0plant a tree<\/b>\u00a0on your wedding day. It represents the lifelong\u00a0evolution<\/b>\u00a0and is also a symbol of fertility. Every year, when the tree is in bloom, it symbolizes therenewed\u00a0<\/b>love between the spouses.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
