OTHER WEDDING TRADITIONS

CONFETTI
Traditionally thrown over the couple to bring fertility to the newly weds.

WEDDING BELLS
Bells are rung at the weddings to protect the couple from future misfortunes.

THE FIRST CUT OF THE WEDDING CAKE
Symbolizing faithfulness and sharing it is traditional for the couple to share the cutting of the first slice of the wedding cake. Sending cake to those unable to attend is a gesture of sharing the good luck which the wedding cake will bring.

WEDDING GIFTS
Guests bringing presents dates back hundreds of years when originally fruits were offered to encourage fertility.

CARRYING THE BRIDE ACROSS THE THRESHOLD
Symbolizing the bride giving up her virginity, it is also now considered good luck for the groom to carry his new wife across the threshold.


~THE END~

Thanks to my best friend for letting me borrowed her wedding picture compilation.
