Wedding Traditions
The word “wed”
is derived from the ancient Greek word for “pledge.”
And that’s exactly what a wedding is, no matter
what country it takes place in, no matter what culture
it’s part of. To wed is to pledge yourself to
another. There are few acts we perform that are more
pure or more beautiful than the act of marriage.
Marriage is a bringing together. It is a bringing
together of two people, of two families, or two tribes,
or two villages, or even two countries. Marriage is
that powerful. Marriage is not something to be entered
into lightly. Marriage is a pledge meant to last a
lifetime.
Yet it is one of the unceasing marvels that
we are able to express something as basic as love
and marriage in so many wonderful and touching ways.
Such is the wonder of human existence. The ceremonies
and the traditions may be different, they may seem
strange or outlandish or they may touch feelings in
us that we never knew we had, but there is something
about marriage that is instantly recognizable no matter
what the language.
World Wedding Traditions
Today's popular wedding traditions have evolved over
hundreds, even thousands of years of people joining
together in some form of matrimony. Some wedding traditions
that have endured are based on blessing the couple
with good luck; others are a means for the couple
to convey their feelings for one another. Regardless
of the wedding tradition itself, all wedding traditions
share the same essential symbols of unity, happiness
and prosperity; messages that stand the test of time.
Traditions vary from culture to culture. Some are
widely used in modern wedding ceremonies, while others
exist only within a certain race or culture.The origin
of most of our wedding traditions stem from superstitions,
and are handed down by folk lore. Because of this
you will find various legends of our most popular
customs.
