Wedding Traditions Past and Present

Weddings are looked at by men and women alike as their biggest day -- the day they quit going at the world alone and start a family and take on the world together.

The crowd at a wedding, believing that the bride was somehow lucky, would rip at her dress to get a piece of the 'luck' and the bride would toss the bouquet and run away. Today, the bride just tosses the bouquet and the woman that catches it is supposed to be the next to wed. Giving [...]
