Top FIVE Wedding Traditions and Their CRAZY Histories

The Save The Date Podcast

In today’s episode, Sheridan and Juliette sit down and talk ALL about the crazy histories behind some of the most popular wedding traditions.

We hope you love a history lesson cause that's what this episode is all about!!

We travel back to Ancient Egypt to learn about the history of wedding rings, how this tradition was adopted by the Ancient Greeks and in turn, the Ancient Romans. We talk about what their rings were made of and how they transformed into what we see today.

We all know that *most* people wear white on their wedding day, but this has not always been the way! We'll talk about the rise of Queen Victoria and how she was basically the first-ever #influencer... lol!

We also talk about how much arranged marriages have painted the way we do weddings today, including not seeing the couple on the wedding day and wearing a veil! As well as how bouquets were originally not at all done for aesthetics and instead were used to mask the wearers odour...

This is also your reminder that you do NOT need to do any wedding tradition if you don't want to. Your wedding day is all about you and your partner, so do whatever it is that makes the two of you happiest.
