British wedding
customs
In the past
choosing when to marry was a very serious thing. People thought that Saturdays
were unlucky days for weddings, and so were Fridays. Now in Britain the most
popular day for wedding is Saturday as most people work during the week.
In the past young
people who were in love, first asked their parents if they could marry. In fact
the parents decided who their children should marry and when. It is not always
the case nowadays.
It has always been
important for the bride and the bridegroom to look great on the most important
day of their lives so they have helpers – the Bridesmaid and the Best Man who
help them to dress and during the wedding ceremony.
The last part of
the wedding is the party. Traditionally, guests are offered a wedding cake.
Originally, cakes were round and had fruit and nuts – the symbol of good life
in future. Now weddings cakes are much bigger. It is said that if unmarried
guests place a piece of the cake under the pillow before going to be, it will
help them to find a friend.
