Abstract

This project is a creative and useful website for those people who are planning weddings and who are interested in discovering the traditions, superstitions, and folklore surrounding common wedding practices.Many bridal couples are not aware of the symbolism inherent in the wedding traditions they include in their celebration. This site enables those couples, and any others who might be interested, to unveil the mysteries behind the activities in which they participate. It is then that an informed decision can be made as to whether a time-honored tradition will be included in a wedding for the symbolism it evokes or for another reason, if any.
