American Wedding Customs and Superstitions Wedding days are often considered the most important day of many people’s lives. For this reason alone, throughout the past and into modern day, numerous customs and superstitions have developed around the wedding event, in hopes of creating “The Perfect Day”! A very common custom still honored today is in reference to a time-old saying, “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a silver sixpence inside your shoe.” So old is this that tracing it back to its origination is nearly impossible. Some attribute it to Victorian times, others say it is even older than that. The “old” is believed to be the friends and family attending the wedding. The “new” is represented by the couple themselves, as a “new” union. The “borrowed” is something from the families that is to be returned, such as the bride’s wedding dress, or the veil, borrowed from her own mother. Something “blue” is often interpreted to represent the bride’s purity, as the opposite of red, which throughout time has come to represent a woman of many men. Modern-day brides often wear a bit of blue material tucked out of sight. The sixpence can be any form of money, tucked into the bride’s shoe, so as to bring wealth and love to the union. The veil and the bridesmaids were originated not as decorations or to allow your friends to share your happiness, but to help confuse the evil spirits that were believed to be lurking about on this holy day. The veil, by hiding the face, particulary the eyes, confused the evil spirits. Bridesmaids would surround the bride, thus confusing the evil spirits as to who was the actual bride. In a similar belief, the best man is supposed to protect the groom from the day the wedding is first set in motion, until he is rightfully married to his would-be bride. Colors have long played a part in the planning of weddings. While many believe that the white of the wedding dress signifies that the bride is a virgin, this is not actually true in all societies. An old saying sums up the colors in a wedding very well: 1 2 题号 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 九 十 总分 分数 阅卷人 下 装 订 线 专业班级： 姓名： 学号： 上 装 订 线
