Georgia Girl's Wedding Traditions



The origin of most of our wedding traditions stem from superstitions, and are handed down by folk lore. Because of this you will find various legends of our most popular customs.  Traditions vary from culture to culture. Some are widely used in modern wedding ceremonies, while others exist only within a certain race or culture. While we hope you will enjoy the following legends and lore, if you are planning your wedding, we encourage you to do things "your way." It's your special day and there are no iron-clad rules.
