Why is a bride carried over the threshold?

Do you know why a groom carries his bride over the threshold? The tradition began in medieval Europe because many people believed brides were particularly vulnerable to evil spirits through the soles of her feet. To avoid bringing in any evil spirits, the groom carried the bride into their new home!

MARRIED AT THIS SECRET, SCENIC SPOT

This is where I conducted a wedding last Saturday - it may not be a secret to those living in Swansea Heads but it certainly was to me! It is in Illawang Park overlooking the ocean and both the setting and the weather couldn't have been better.

The bride walked down a natural, leaf-strewn aisle under a canopy of trees then joined her groom at this picturesque spot. The stunning archway was made of drift wood strewn with flowers, including jasmine which smelt utterly divine and added a mesmorising scent to the romantic ambiance.

WHY DO BRIDES WEAR WEDDING VEILS?

Apparently the custom began in Rome, when a bride would wear a veil down the aisle to disguise herself from evil spirits who were jealous of her happiness. In those days they wore red or yellow veils to help ward off these spirits.

It's also thought veils date back to the time of arranged marriages, when people believed that if the couple saw each other before the ceremony, it would give them a chance to change their minds about the wedding! Some people think that it's bad luck if a groom sees his bride just before the ceremony. And white, of course, represents purity.

I prefer to believe that by the bride covering her face it means the groom is not just marrying her for her looks but for her personality and all that is beneath the veil. What do you think?
