We follow many wedding traditions without knowing the origin, meaning and what they symbolize. For example, do you know why brides wear the veil? Certainly not, but learn it now!
1. The veil is set to "protect brides from evil spirits"
Bride veils are placed to protect the purity of the girls who are getting married. In ancient times it was believed that young brides were very sensitive to the eye, magic, evil energy, etc. and to hide from the "devil" they had to wear white tulle that protected their happiness. The Romans used colored veils believing that this would scare away evil spirits
2. The bouquet of flowers is held to protect the bride's dress from any incident
In medieval Europe, it was believed that the bride should no longer wear or see her post-wedding bridal gown. This was seen as good luck for women who were still single, who had to follow the bride and tear a little from her dress at the end. As dresses became more expensive over time, brides were forced to find another distraction for their single friends. Thus was born the idea of ??the bouquet of flowers thrown from it.
3. The first ring-shaped ring was found in ancient Egypt
Egyptian pharaohs used rings to symbolize eternity as the circle has neither beginning nor end. It also represents the sun and moon, which the ancient Egyptians worshiped. They also believed that the circle of marriage should be placed on the fourth finger of the right hand, the finger that connected the "vein of love."
4. It was Queen Victoria who started the tradition of wearing a white dress
Long ago, people used colors as a symbol of wealth, but Queen Victoria at the time a 20-year-old bride was the first to ask everyone not to dress in white except her and her companions.
5. Wedding cakes were used to be thrown on the bride's head
Që në Romën e lashtë në fund të ceremonisë, pak tortë duhet të përfundonte në kokën e nuses për fat të mirë dhe pjellori. Të sapomartuarit duhet ta hanin tortën bashkë, si shenjë e bashkimit burrë-grua. Të ftuarit konsumonin atë çfarë mbetej pasi hedhjes së tortës në fytyrën/kokën e nuses.
6. Nusja duhet të qëndrojë në të majtë të dhëndrit në mënyrë që ai të mund ta mbrojë
Dhëndri gjithmonë qëndron në të djathtë të saj për një arsye të vetme: për ta patur më të lehtë të përdor krahun e tij të djathtë, nëse dikush përpiqet "t'i marrë nusen nga krahu i tij".
7. Duhet diçka e re, e vjetër, e marrë borxh dhe ngjyrë blu
This is a tradition that the bride has to follow and comes from the Victorian period. All of these items are supposed to bring good luck to the bride and the wedding. A new object brings optimism for the future, a borrowed thing, symbolizes the borrowing of happiness while an old item protects the children that will be born from this marriage.
