The word “wedding” comes from the word “wed”. The “wed” was the price that was paid for the bride or a security placed by the family of the groom with the family of the bride when the agreement to marry took place. Now that this ancient practice has become obsolete, today’s weddings are much different.
When a wedding occurs today, it is a gathering of the clans. It’s a time of joy and love. A time for the older members of the family to come together for new beginnings as the cycle of life is renewed and a time of excitement for the young children who are either part of the day or invited to it. It’s a time for friends to celebrate and wish the couple a future filled with joy and love.
A wedding is mostly about the bride, who sets the tone of the day with the help of her future mate. Weddings are solemn but they hold many moods and emotions; anticipation, wonder, fun, joy, gratitude and nostalgia- all the ingredients for a perfect day.
Your wedding is a reflection of your personality and your budget-all filled with your own imagination and traditions.
