The amount of wedding trivia is practically endless. Here are a few of the more interesting tidbits of information:
The Bride - “Bride” is an old English word meaning “cook.”
The Wedding - The word “wedding” comes from the Anglo-Saxon word “wed,” referring to the security provided by the groom’s family to the bride’s family upon a betrothal.
Hair Rings - Early Celtic wedding rings were made of hair (their own) woven together by the bride and groom.
The Kiss - In ancient Rome, a kiss was seen as a legal bond that sealed all contracts, not just the marital sort.
Train Length - In the Middle Ages, the length of a bride’s train indicated her rank in court; the longer her train, the closer she was to the King and Queen and the greater her influence.
Evil Spirits - A Danish bride and groom could confound the evil spirits by cross-dressing.
Invitations - Before the invention of the printing press in 1447, weddings were typically announced by means of a town crier; anyone within earshot became part of the celebration.
Sock Tossing - In long-ago England, friends of the groom would take off their socks and throw them; the first to hit the groom’s nose would be the next to be married.
Cutting the Cake - Whoever had their hand on top during the cutting of the cake would rule the household.
Souvenirs - In ancient times, guests would sometimes tear off a piece of the bride’s dress as a good luck souvenir.
Falling Asleep - The newlywed who fell asleep first on the wedding night would be the first of the pair to die.
Over the Threshold – If a bride tripped or stumbled as she entered her new home, it was considered very bad luck; therefore, it became a duty for the groom to carry his bride over the threshold.
Good Luck for the Bride - If a bride married on the same day of the week that the groom was born, she would have good luck.
The Bride’s Bad Luck – Unfortunate was the bride who cooked any of her own wedding supper or looked into a mirror while wearing her complete wedding outfit before her wedding day.
More Good Luck Omens – Rain; tears; ivy and/or myrtle in a wedding bouquet; seeing a rainbow; having the sun shine on the bride; meeting a black cat; meeting a chimney sweep on the wedding day; a spider found in a wedding dress.
Back Luck Omens – Shopping for wedding rings on a Friday; May weddings; tears; seeing a pig, rabbit or lizard running across the road on the wedding day; dropping the ring during the ceremony (whoever dropped it would die first).
