For many people,wedding day is often considered the most important day in their lift For this reason alone,throughout the past and into modern day,in hopes of creating "Th,Perfect Day" numerous customs and superstitions have developed around the weddin event.
A common custom still honored today is in reference to a time-old saying,"Something old,something new,something borrowed,something blue,and a silver sixpence inside you shoe".So old is it that tracing it back to its origination is nearly impossible.Some people con tribute it to Victorian times,others say it is much older than that.The "old" is believed to bethe friends and family attending the wedding,The "new" is represented by the couple them selves,as a "new" union.The "borrowed" is something from the families that is to be returned such as the bride's wedding dress,or the veil,borrowed from her own mother.Something "blue" is often interpreted to represent the bride's virginity,as in the opposite of red.On mod.ern days,brides often wear a bit of blue material tucked out of sight.The sixpence can be anyform of money,tucked into the bride's shoe,this to bring wealth,both in monetary means and love,to the union.
The bridesmaids and the veil （女儐相） were originated not as decorations or to allow your friends to share in your happy day,but to help confuse the evil spirits that were believed to be lurking about on this holy day （天主教的瞻禮日） .The veil,by hiding the face,par-ticularly the eyes,confused the evil spirits.Bridesmaids would surround the bride,thus confusing the evil spirits as to who was the actual bride.In a simi-lar belief,the best man is suppose to protect the groom from the day the wedding is first set in motion,until he is rightfully married to his impending bride.
