It is customary to wear a white dress for a wedding, but this was not always the case. The white dress of the bride was introduced by Queen Victoria of England in the middle of the 17th century. Before her, brides wore a pink dress for their wedding. At the same time, the chastity of the bride does not mean a snow dress at all, but a white veil. So, if you are not getting married for the first time, you should not get a veil. What other traditions and signs should you follow when going to your own wedding?
Instructions
Step 1
The wedding tradition of exchanging engagement rings is believed to have been invented by the Egyptians. The round shape of the ring is a symbol of eternity, endless happiness and love between spouses. Therefore, rings should be chosen in a round shape, without fancy patterns and rough ornaments.
Step 2
According to wedding omens, Wednesday and Friday are considered unfavorable days for marriage. The best day is Saturday and Sunday.
Step 3
On the morning of the wedding day, the bride should not see the groom, otherwise the marriage will not be successful. In the modern world, the bride should spend the night before the wedding in her parents' house or at least in another room if the young people already live together.
Step 4
Old shoes on the bride will bring good luck in family life - our grandmothers listened to this wedding omen. Therefore, it is recommended to walk around the day before the wedding in new shoes prepared for the wedding. If the heel breaks, family life will "limp".
Step 5
A bad wedding omen is to drop your wedding ring before putting it on your finger. If this happens, then a prepared thread is threaded through the ring. She will gather bad omens on herself. Burn the thread after registration, saying "burn, fire, my troubles and sorrows." The thread that drops the ring burns.

Touching the rings of the bride and groom at a wedding means walking at your wedding soon.

Step 9
Before the wedding, the bride, so that her sisters get married faster, must pull at the tablecloth that covers the table.
