You Have Wedding Questions, We Have Wedding Answers

Kevin Garcia - Monday, August 15, 2011

Have you ever wondered what all of the “stuff” in a wedding symbolizes?  Why do brides carry a bunch of flowers in front of their beautiful dress? Why does the groom hack into the gorgeous wedding cake and stuff the brides face in front of a room full of people? And my personal favorite, why is the bride expected to wear white? As a wedding planner I get these questions quite often.  So often, in fact, that I had to actually sit down and figure out why all of this “stuff” actually takes place on a couple’s wedding day!

Why does the bride wear white?

White has long symbolized virtue and purity, two traits synonymous with weddings and brides from long ago.  Today, however, most brides are adding their own twist to the traditional white.  Many choose to go with the subtle hint of color by choosing an off white gown, while others go totally non-traditional with pinks, beige or even red!

 

Why does the bride carry a bouquet?

This is an ancient tradition first started with the bouquet of both flowers and herbs which brides carried to ward off evil spirits and to represent fertility.  The bridal bouquet has changed over the years, eliminating the herbs, but staying traditional in size and shape.

 

Why does a bride wear a veil?

The face covering veil became part of the wedding tradition as a means to protect the bride from jealous former suitors.  Unfortunately this would not work in today’s weddings simply because the invitation pretty much gives away the name of the woman getting married.  If that doesn’t work, everyone pretty much knows she’s engaged when she changes her Facebook status!

 

Why do the bride and groom cut the cake and feed each other?

This customary act started as symbolism of a nurturing relationship.  Wow – I think this is a very important point to emphasize to grooms to be… it’s supposed to symbolize a nurturing relationship, smashing cake in the face of your new wife does not symbolize a nurturing relationship guys!

 

Why do the bride and groom give rings to each other?

Historians have said that it became customary to place wedding rings on the fourth finger of the left hand because it encircles the vena amoris vein that runs directly to the heart.

 

Why is there a honeymoon after the wedding?

The honeymoon was developed in Babylon some 4,000 years ago, it was a tradition for the groom to receive from the bride’s father all the honey based beer he could drink in a month. The calendar in Babylon was based on the lunar cycle, or honey month and eventually honeymoon.  So ladies, go ahead and let your new hubby drink all the beer he wants on the honeymoon, it’s required tradition!

Roberto Mancini happy after Manchester City battle to victory at Wigan
[url=http://www.uggoutlet-2012.net]cheap uggs boots [/url]
He took off striker Sergio Aguero and put on left-back Aleksandar Kolarov which appeared a negative move, only for the visitors to break the deadlock moments later.
City are now unbeaten in their first 14 games of the season and the Italian expects another tight battle for the Premier League crown with rivals Manchester United.
Mancini told Sky Sports: "Wigan play with three defenders and two in the channels. I wanted to put players in the same positions as them and when we changed it, we scored the first goal. After that, the match changed.
"When we have played against Wigan it has been a difficult match because they play very well."

Valencia turned a 2-0 victory over Llagostera last time out into a 5-1 aggregate win as Adil Rami (15) and Bernat (78) made their mark at the Mestalla.
But Adriano equalised in the 35th minute, leaving Villa to settle the tie in the second half and the Spain striker duly notched in the 56th minute before doubling up three minutes later.
Levante overturned a 1-0 deficit to run out 4-2 aggregate winners over Melilla, with Nikos Karabelas (25), Roger (62) and Michel (76) all getting among the goals.
Mustafa Chota had given Melilla a chance of victory with his 27th-minute goal, but substitute Vicente Iborra put Levante out of sight with a penalty five minutes from time, before Michel was sent off.

Wigan are closing on a deal for Sporting Kansas City midfielder Roger Espinoza
[url=http://www.australia-ugg-boots.com]australia ugg boots[/url]
Wigan were credited with holding an interest at that time, but were unable to put a deal in place.
They have, however, refused to accept defeat in their pursuit of Espinoza and the 26-year-old should complete a switch to England once the January transfer window opens for business.
Vermes added: "I told him I really appreciated his commitment to the club.
"He's been a great guy on and off the field for us for several years. His growth as a player has been tremendous. I told him we're happy for him, but that the doors are open if things change in the future."
