You must wear a white wedding dress for the first time.
When the British get married, the groom should wear a formal dress, while the first-time bride must wear a white shirt, a white skirt, a white garland, a long white gauze and a white bouquet. In short, the British advocate white, which symbolizes pure love and good luck. The custom of wearing a veil can be traced back to BC 10 century, and women in the two river basins wear veils. In ancient Greece, when holding a wedding, not only the bride should wear a veil of linen or wool, but also the couple should wear a corolla. In Roman times, people of different religious beliefs had to wear veils of different colors to show their differences. After the Middle Ages, a crown decorated with pearls appeared among the court nobles. Later, it developed into white yarn, and its scale expanded day by day, spreading all over Europe.
Colorful wedding forms
Both the bride and groom have their bachelor parties. Except for dinner, they exclude the lottery from the wedding ceremony. If the couple get married in the church, their wedding notice will be read out loud in the church on Sunday three weeks before the wedding. However, if a newcomer appears at the reading scene, it will be considered unlucky.
Weddings are traditionally held at noon, and then there will be a formal lunch called "wedding breakfast". Wedding invitations are quite similar to American traditions, but few people will make beautiful invitations. People who accept the invitation generally don't reply to the card, but use their own special reply card. There is also an interesting tradition about weddings in Britain. It is thought that letting the chimney sweeper kiss the bride when she walks out of the church will bring good luck to the couple.
Choose your wedding date carefully.
British men and women have no special taboos at wedding banquets, but they pay great attention to the choice of auspicious days. Their wedding date is forbidden in May, because there is a strong cultural origin between the British Empire and the Roman Empire, and May is the day when large-scale traditional sacrifices are held in Rome, so the ballad "Marry in May, and you will regret it" is still circulating today.
In addition, their custom of choosing a day has an interesting ballad: "Monday is healthy, Tuesday is silver and Man Cang, Wednesday is the best day, Thursday is disastrous, Friday is poor, and Saturday is not happy." So married men and women especially love Wednesdays.
The most important part of wearing a ring
The custom of wearing a ring can be traced back to ancient Egypt and China. It is not only a symbol, but also an ornament. At first, the wedding ring was not set with diamonds, emeralds, rubies and sapphires. The pure circle symbolizes the reunion of two married people. In some ethnic groups, it symbolizes a kind of magic, wishing couples happiness and longevity. At the same time, the giver expressed his trust in the receiver, and the receiver expressed his loyalty to the giver.
The gold ring symbolizes the innocence of love, while the silver ring means tenderness. Like western countries, Britain's engagement ring is made of gold, without any precious stones, and the wedding ring should also be decorated. As for the quality of the ring, it varies according to personal economic conditions. An engagement ring and a wedding ring can be worn on the same ring finger, or they can be replaced by a wedding ring.
In Britain in the16th century, family patterns or proverbs were often engraved on the inside of wedding rings, such as "God made me someone's wife". The ring of the Christian bishop's wife was engraved with a hand, a heart, a bishop's crown and a skeleton, with the inscription: "I gave you the first three, and the fourth made me detached." Today, most rings are inscribed with only the initials of the bride and groom.
