ORIGIN OF BRIDAL CUSTOMS.
TRADITION ABOUT VEILS, WEDDING RINGS AND CITIS.
Happy is the wooing '
That is not long in doing. Wedding customs have varied with changing speriods and people as the centuries bave moved. The wadding ring, måde af iron, cap. per, brass leather, sedge and adamant, seems to have 6gured in the ceremony as far back as Bible times, the first record of it being found in Genesis IV., where Tubai Clio, the la. structor of every kind of artificer," is mon- tioned.
The gimmil ring of old was cunningly de. vised in two fitted sections, and at the wedding service it was divided, qua-half for the bride and the other half for the bridegroom. The sing finger has also remained the same, having been chosen as the least active finger and therefore the safest to wear the ring upoo; and also for the sentimental reason that it is sup. posed to contain a blood vein that connects directly with the heart; som
As your wedding ring wears You'll live out your cares.
The origin of the wedding veil is a matter of some dispute; the Crusaders are said to have brought it to Western Europe, and others say that it comes, from the Greeks and Romans,
·who were entirely enshrouded during the bridal ceremony by a flaming yellow veil. However that may be, Margaret Tudor, on her marriage to James of Ecotland, is s.id to have worn the first wedding veil in Western Europe. Elizy- beth Stuart ware flowing bair with a chaplet af coloured flowers on her head. In the reign of George III. both veils and wreaths were quite cut of fashion for a time, flowing hair confined with gold and pearl bandeaux or fillets being the proper thing.
The Duchess of Gloucester and the Earl of Waldegrave were married on May 16, 1759, and it is recorded that she wore a while and silver bricaded gown and a large hat, which she wore at the wedding dinner, and there was neither form nor indecency present, as those was met with generally on such occasions, and they also went on a wedding trip'unaccompanis ed in their own carriage.
The veil and housewife's cap are of the same 'origin, and the bride is supposed to lay aside the one to don the other. All the wedding wrokibs were made of myrils and olive leaves. and coloured flowers until the orange blos Some, first worn by Saraceps as emblems of fecundity, were fairoduced. The trousseau **jewel gift from the bridegroom to the bride has
taken the place of the "dow purse," which in sydays of old was the first-instalment of the wife's
pin money,
Matrons of honour are of Anglo-Saxon custom, while bridesmaids and men as attend anis are equally time-honoured, and ♬ zwergirls apd pages,are as old as royalty itself,
The honeymoon, so called, is a period lasting In different lands from one week to thirty days. The rice-browing upon the couple is a symbel weigihe saying, “increate and multiply.
baudfol-of-wheat eats carried in the hand of the bride is a symbol of the prosperity and thrift she brings to her home, and it is stiil typified among the Germans, who always take a loaf of bread with them to a new home na in. suring the prosperity with which the home is to be blessed.
The throwing of old shoes after, the carriage. of the bride. is really, a custing off of frivolity! and the sign on the new maternal dignity. Throwing away the píos of the wedding veil is to Insure the happiness of wedded lilo and typifies the putting away forever of the last symbol of maidenhood.
