Well, it is Hearts Day! Wishing everyone a happy one. I thought it might be interesting to look up some wedding traditions from around the world. Some I had heard of, some I hadn't !
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Sweden the mother of the bride presents her daughter with a gold coin for her left shoe, and the father of the bride gives her a silver one for her right shoe, so that they will never be poor.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Fiji, the groom must present the father of the bride with a whale's tooth in order for him to approve
the wedding.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A hundred years ago, in the Baltic region, black was the traditional color for the wedding dress.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the reception in Denmark, it is customary for the groom to disappear for a while in order for all the single men to kiss the bride. Then the bride must disappear for all the single ladies to kiss the groom.

Not sure how well that last tradition would play out , here in Arkansas!
Just for fun, and Happy Valentine's day!~ Ruby Jeanette
