    When it comes to preparing the bride for the wedding, she should wear
    "something new, something old, something borrowed, something
    blue, and a sixpence in her shoe".

    In England it is customary for the bride to stand to the left of the


    groom, so that he can have his right hand free to protect her from
    those who might want to steal the bride.

    As a symbol of fertility, rice and wheat were thrown at the bride and
    groom, now confetti is used.

    The bride has a white dress and veil on her head.

    To have good luck in marriage, the groom was not supposed to see the
    bride's dress before the wedding.

    The bride should not wear pearls at all because they are said to bring
    tears.

    As for the wedding gifts, these consisted of fruit as a symbol of


    happiness and children in marriage. Guests received small cakes or

    candles, tulle, candlesticks and white chandeliers.

    The wedding dress is as beautiful as possible, possibly with a train.

    The names of the bride's friends who are unmarried are written on
    the sole of the bride's shoe, this brings them good luck, it is said that
    they will get married soon. The groom is the one who puts the bride's
    shoes on and puts banknotes inside the shoes.

    The groom is dressed by his friends, shaved and then escorted by


    them to the church where he will wait for his bride at the altar.

    The priest will place the wreaths on the bride and groom's heads,
    which are tied with white ribbon. The rings are made of gold or another
    precious metal and symbolise eternal love.

    Rice and rose petals are thrown over the bride and groom as they
    leave the church for luck and happiness.
