Here's some wedding trivia that you may find interesting
or fun.
Something old: This
refers to the bride's previous way of living, before the wedding.
It is supposed to symbolize the transition into her new life,
while not forgetting the one she had.
Something new: This is the second
part of the transition. It signifies the future ahead and all
the prosperity it shall bring.
Something borrowed: This term tends
to be borrowed from another previously wed bride. You borrow
it so that you may
have all the
luck and joy that the bride who first wore it has now in her marriage.
Something blue: Before Queen Victoria
set the standard for marring in white, blue was the common color
to wear
for the wedding.
Blue, much before white (dating back into biblical times) was the color
of purity, so a woman would marry wearing blue. Now borrowing an artifact
of blue
is merely a testament to the original color of purity.
Pearls melt in
vinegar.
An Opal will cause a tear to whom ever it is given
unless it is given out of true love.
