FYI:
THE WEDDING RING:
Is traditionally a gold band – it is still know to be the oldest symbol of marriage. The circle represents eternity and never ending love.

Traditions from around the globe – who knew?

Germany - during the ceremony, when the couple kneel, the groom may kneel on the bride's hem to show that he'll keep her in line. Then, the bride may step on his foot as she rises to reassert herself.

Korea - wedding ducks are a symbol for a long and happy marriage. Cranes are a symbol of long life and may be represented on the woman's sash.

An early American custom-the bride pinned a small pouch to her wedding petticoat containing a small piece of bread, cloth, wood and a single one-dollar bill. This ensured that there would be enough food, clothes, shelter and money for the future couple.

Poland - guests paid to dance with the bride and this money is used for the honeymoon

Japan - ducks or a goose and gander were included in the processional because they mate for life and are a symbol for fidelity.

Ireland - Irish brides used to carry a real horseshoe for good luck. (Turned up so the luck won't run out). Most Irish brides carry porcelain horseshoes, or one made of fabric which is worn on the wrist.

Bermuda - a multi-level fruitcake and included a small cedar tree on top. This tree was planted and is supposed to grow with the love of the bride and groom.

Denmark - brides and grooms traditionally cross-dressed to confuse evil spirits!
