Bridal Trivia


Do You Know Where These Traditions Came From?

Aisle Runners - used only by the bride. They are used so the bride's gown does not get mud, dirt and grass on her train.
Bridesmaids were to confuse evil spirits. It was thought that if the bride was surrounded by women dressed alike, evil spirits could not find the bride and would leave the ceremony.
Groomsmen were basically used during the time when men would kidnap their brides. The best warriors came with the groom to fight off anyone trying to save the female from being taken from her tribe, clan, or village.
Honeymoons were actually one month long. The groom, have kidnapped his bride, would hide her from everyone for one month (or one moon cycle). During this time, they would drink a concoction of honey and mead basically to keep her drunk and from screaming so no one could find them).

That was your fun wedding trivia for the day!
