Something old, something new,
something borrowed, something blue.... That is probably the most
notable wedding day tradition, other than the white gown, that is
observed today.
There are other wives tales, folklore and other traditions that are
practiced around the country and the world.
Trying every last thing to ensure that you have a perfect marriage and wedding
day is impossible. What makes it perfect is that you are celebrating,
with your family and friends, the start of a new life with
your special love.
To find that one little thing to help ease your mind, Judy
Cheney, of 'The
Rosemary Company' has sent along this little excerpt...
The Legends of Rosemary.....
The herb rosemary is the symbol of remembrance and fidelity and has been used
for centuries in weddings. During the middle ages all elegant weddings used
rosemary as a favor for the wedding guests. Sprigs were dipped in gold,
tied with a ribbon and presented to guests. It symbolized that although the
bride and groom were leaving their friends and family to start a new life, they
would never forget their loved ones.
There are many fun legends surrounding the use of rosemary. "According to
English folklore, if a maiden placed a plate of flour under a rosemary bush on
midsummer's eve, her future husbands initials would be written in it."
"To see your true love in a dream, slip a piece of rosemary under your
pillow...."
The bride and groom might dip rosemary in their wine cups to toast each other.
Dried rosemary was laid in the bed linen to ensure faithfulness, and a bride who
gave her husband a sprig to hold on their wedding night would ensure that he
remained faithful...
According to another legend, "if a man doesn't like the scent of rosemary,
he will be a lousy lover."
Napoleon is said to have loved rosemary...and Josephine is said to have asked
Napoleon to wash in rosemary water before entering her bedchamber. Napoleon
obediently used 162 bottles of rosemary in the first three months of
marriage."
from "Book of Rosemary" (HarperCollins Publishers)
