Bridesmaids were supposed to dress like brides so as to ward off the abductors. Some of such wedding superstitions still exist although they lost significance with the coming of the church doctrines.

Ceremonies often begin also with the exchanging of Leis, which represent the continuous circle of harmony that the new couple strives to attain. The bride and groom each take turns putting a lei around each other’s necks, following the action with a sweet kiss. Ceremonies are often brightly colored, festive events in which women marry as young as 13 to 15 years of age.

Couples and families today are literally going into debt for lavish weddings. There are the costs of the place of marriage. Couples are decided in heaven. So true to believe! Couples may choose to do this at a family reunion while handing over the wedding invitations to save on trips. This is also the period when soon-to-weds visit their prospective ninongs or ninangs (godparents/principal sponsors) for the wedding and it is customary to bring a little something for the person visited (a basket of fruits is a popular choice).

Wedding traditions are no different. Often before marriage, the bride and groom will continue with this theme by embracing wedding traditions and past customs of the partner, and carrying on with those long after the wedding ceremony and honeymoon are complete. Wedding traditions are all about love and faithfulness from one to another. Wedding traditions are fine, but they really have to make sense. If you decide to plan a wedding, you do not have to follow the rules set forth by someone else a long time ago.
