IV.More wedding customs
Ladies and gentlemen,Now it's my turn to show you the fourth part of our presentation, More wedding customs.1.Firstly, I will talk about the custom of “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue and a silver sixpence in your shoe”,which British brides should prepare for their wedding.Something old
Brides must put on something old in the wedding to represent her continued ties to her family and her old life.Many brides wear a piece of family jewelry as their old item.Some brides wear the wedding dre worn by their mother or grandmother.Something new Wearing something new is supposed to represent succe and hope in the bride’s new life and in her marriage.Something “new” is usually the easiest category to fill and most bridges will wear a new wedding dre.Something borrowed
The borrowed item should be something borrowed from a friend that is happily married.It is suggested that their happine will rub off on you and bring lasting happine to your marriage.Something blue Wearing something blue dates back to biblical times when a blue wedding dre was worn to represent purity and love.Over time this has changed from wearing a blue dre to wearing just a blue band around the bottom of the bride’s wedding dre and in modern times, the brides wear a blue garter instead.Sixpence in the shoe Placing a silver sixpence in the bride’s left shoe is said to be a symbol of wealth.This not only refers to financial wealth, but also a wealth of happine and joy throughout her marriage.Things of this custom have their own unique traditional meaning, but all of them are able to bring luck and fortune to the newly married couples.2.Secondly, let’s take a look at what do the newlyweds do just after the wedding.In China, the couple should go back to bride’s home at the third day after the wedding,which is called “a bride's homecoming on the third day after matrimony”.At that time, the bride’s family will diner guests and it’s just another get-together.In Britain, the newlyweds will go for a Honeymoon after the wedding Banquet.According to an ancient British custom, the newlyweds must drink a Special drink with honey for a month to symbolize a happy family life.Thus, this month is called the honeymoon.The couples will have a personal trip during the honeymoon and have a good rest after the busy preparations of the wedding.Our presentation is over, thank you!
