Wedding Traditions Unveiled, Why The Wedding Band?
Weddings are a time to celebrate. They're a time to excitedly welcome a new stage of life for beloved friends and family members.
Otherwise, the traditions are simple niceties you observe to "put on a wedding." Although the traditional meaning may be lost, the people involved are no worse off than those that understand it.
Does anyone know why they do it though? A logical answer is that it shows all the other men that this lovely lady is spoken for.
She is not to be compromised as her fianc or husband will soon be at her side protecting her. Used to be a sign that she's taken is an understandable answer.
To a person that doesn't believe in eternity, they may only see the ring as a symbol for others to back off, they're married. They assign a different meaning to the object that is equally as relevant and acceptable.
As the tradition became the thing to do, the raucous would sometimes turn into vandalism. Not only would the couple have a difficult evening to deal with, but they were sometimes left with a mess to clean up as well.
In another example, the wedding veil is traditionally lifted by the man, as a symbol of taking her into his home. In days gone by, that act alone also symbolized the male dominance of the wife.
Imagine being under a constant barrage of random items from the moment you open the chapel door to until the moment you leave. It would become quite the nuisance.
Some traditions show the ring as a symbol of eternal love. There are no ends on a band.
Neither party is "wrong" per se, but there can definitely be strife and misunderstanding in the events that follow.
If perfectly symbolized on the ring, it might be made into a perfectly cylindrical band with an extra piece curving away from the circle. This would symbolize that love started, but is now in a continual loop.
A concoction of the smelliest, grossest items is mixed together to cover the bride with the day before her wedding. The concoction is made up of eggs, vegetables, dairy, feathers, fish, and sausages and is dumped on her.
Once completely covered, she is then carried around town with a crowd that tries to make as much noise as possible. It's like a bachelorette party gone wrong.
These were the first promise rings. They are still popular, even in the days leading up to Las Vegas Weddings. Although Vegas Weddings don't have to be traditional all the time-as many find it an excuse to elope-that doesn't mean that they can't be. Whatever the origins, a wedding band is a rich and eternal tradition that seems less likely to die than the eternal love it symbolizes.
Their choices have their own sort of symbolism, even if the parents don't quite understand why. The thing to remember is that each tradition of the wedding has meaning if you assign it.
Some bands are passed down from generation to generation, keeping the love and the tradition alive in the coming generations. Whatever its origins, the rings' purpose has been redefined in modern times.
These are just a few of the weird traditions you can be grateful aren't available as part of your standard wedding packages here in America. American culture tends to prepare weddings that honor, respect, and rejoice in the union of two people without the embarrassing or stinky stories that could come with them.
