Why does the exchanging of rings exist? And more in particular, why is it placed on the ring finger on the left hand?
Otherwise, the traditions are simple niceties you observe to "put on a wedding." Although the traditional meaning may be lost, the people involved are no worse off than those that understand it.
Many have developed traditions that thoroughly embarrass and annoy the bride and groom on their special day. Here are three wedding traditions you should be grateful aren't apart of your culture.
She is not to be compromised as her fianc or husband will soon be at her side protecting her. Used to be a sign that she's taken is an understandable answer.
To a person that doesn't believe in eternity, they may only see the ring as a symbol for others to back off, they're married. They assign a different meaning to the object that is equally as relevant and acceptable.
As the tradition became the thing to do, the raucous would sometimes turn into vandalism. Not only would the couple have a difficult evening to deal with, but they were sometimes left with a mess to clean up as well.
This gesture was supposed to keep her soul from escaping. Some think it was more of an attempt to keep her from escaping.
Should she lift the veil herself, it would be a shameful act telling the world that she saw herself at the same level as the man. A woman understanding that initial symbolism today might lift her own veil to ensure the world knows that she is an equal.
To make matters worse, at one point, a plate is thrown at the feet of the couple. The tradition is for the couple to clean the plate up together, symbolizing unity in their marriage.
Instead, it is perfectly cylindrical. The metal flows in a circle that cannot have a start or an end. So too is their love without end. Although you can often find a start date when two people fell in love, you will not find an end date.
Traditions are constantly changing in today's world. Where once mothers passed her dress on to her children; new brides are purchasing their own dresses.
A concoction of the smelliest, grossest items is mixed together to cover the bride with the day before her wedding. The concoction is made up of eggs, vegetables, dairy, feathers, fish, and sausages and is dumped on her.
Other traditions, European in particular, use the band to symbolize a promise. One person has promised herself to another, and she wears it as a reminder of her promise when other temptations come her way.
The band Train, for instance, recently civilly married a couple in the middle of a concert in Salt Lake City. The venue changes according to the significance those locations have in the minds of the couple.
Sometimes the groom is also kidnapped and made to smell like a pig that's wallowed in too much mud. He joins the bride in the procession and they are thoroughly embarrassed together the day before their matrimony.
Some bands are passed down from generation to generation, keeping the love and the tradition alive in the coming generations. Whatever its origins, the rings' purpose has been redefined in modern times.
