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.
