Wedding days are often considered the most important day of many people’s lives. For this reason alone, throughout the past and into modern day, numerous customs and superstitions have developed around the wedding event, in hopes of creating ‘The Perfect Day!’ A very common custom still honored today is in reference to a time-old saying, ‘Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a silver sixpence inside your shoe’. So old is this that tracing it back to its origination is nearly impossible. Some contribute it to Victorian times, others say it is even older than that. The ‘old’ is believed to be the friends and family attending the wedding. The ‘new’ is represented by the couple themselves, as a ‘new’ union. The ‘borrowed’ is something from the families that is to be returned, such as the bride's wedding dress, or the veil, borrowed from her own mother. Something ‘blue’ is often interpreted to represent the bride’s virginity, as in the opposite of red, which throughout time has come to represent a woman of many men. Modern day brides often wear a bit of blue material tucked out of sight. The sixpence can be any form of money, tucked into the bride's shoe, this to bring wealth, both in monetary means and love, to the union. The veil and the bridesmaids were originated not as decorations or to allow your friends to share in your happy day, but to help confuse the evil spirits that were believed to be lurking about on this holy day. The veil, by hiding the face, particularly the eyes, confused the evil spirits. Bridesmaids would surround the bride, thus confusing the evil spirits as to who was the actual bride. In a similar belief, the best man is suppose to protect the groom from the day the wedding is first set in motion, until he is rightfully married to his impending bride. Weddings have historically taken place in higher numbers during the month of June than any other month of the year. This ties into the old belief that it was lucky to be married on the day of the full moon. A wedding on the June day of a full moon was considered to be the most prosperous and long lasting union of all. These go together with the belief that a wedding on a bright, sunny day, which June is well known for, foretold good luck for the bride and groom, compared to being married on a rainy day, which foretold bad luck and a short marriage. The world over, people throw rice at weddings. Why? It shows that the guests wish fertility, prosperity, and long lasting happiness for the newly married couple. Colors have long played a part in the planning of weddings. While many believe that the white of the wedding dress signified that the bride is a virgin, this is not actually true in all societies. An old saying sums up the colors in a wedding very well: Marry in white, you will do all right Marry in blue, your man will be true Marry in brown, you will live in town Marry in green, you should be ashamed to be seen Marry in red, wish yourself dead Marry in black, better turn back Marry in yellow, not marrying the right fellow Marry in gray, sadness will come your way The day of the week that the wedding is to take place is also steeped in custom, hence the saying: Marry on Monday for wealth, Tuesday for health, Wednesday the very best day of all, Thursday you will soon be counting your losses, Friday your crosses, and if married on Saturday, you will have no luck at all! One tradition that has been around so long is whether or not it is good luck for the bride to make her own wedding dress. Some people believe it is lucky, others feel it is very unlucky for the bride to even help with the making of the dress. Throwing of the bride’s bouquet is good luck for the bride, and foretells the next of her friends to be married. Whoever catches the bouquet should take a small sliver of the wedding cake home with her and place it beneath her pillow just as she goes to sleep that night. She will dream of her future husband on that single night. Many superstitions also exist for right after the wedding to start the marriage off right. The new couple should borrow a coffeepot for the first three months, then purchase one together. A new broom and frying pan is needed to start the couple off on a road to happiness, never start off a marriage with these two items old, or already used. The bride should cook her new husband and herself their first meal; it should not be eaten at a restaurant or an in-laws house. Never sell the wedding dress. It can be borrowed out, or even given away, but never let money be received for the dress or the marriage will come to a quick end. Keep in mind these are all just customs and superstitions. Marriage is a union between two people who love each other! (But it never hurts to add a little luck in whatever way you can!)
