Слайд 4Proposal

In the past when the marriage proposal was a more

formal procedure, the prospective groom sent his friends or members

of his family to represent his interests to the prospective bride and her family. If they saw a blind man, a monk or a pregnant woman during their journey it was thought that the marriage would be doomed if they continued their journey as these sights were thought to be bad omens.

If, however, they saw nanny goats, pigeons or wolves these were good omens which would bring good fortune to the marriage.

Слайд 5Old rhyme about choosing the right day for the wedding

Although most weddings now take place on a Saturday it

was considered unlucky in the past. Fridays were also considered unlucky particularly Friday the 13th. The famous old rhyme advises a wedding in the first half of the week:

Monday for wealth, Tuesday for health, Wednesday the best day of all, Thursday for losses, Friday for crosses, Saturday for no luck at all.

Слайд 6A wedding dress
Married in White, you have chosen right,
Married in

Grey, you will go far away,
Married in Black, you will

wish yourself back,
Married in Red, you will wish yourself dead,
Married in Green, ashamed to be seen,
Married in Blue, you will always be true,
Married in Pearl, you will live in a whirl,
Married in Yellow, ashamed of your fellow,
Married in Brown, you will live in the town,
Married in Pink, you spirit will sink.

Слайд 8 Something old, Something new...
"Something old"
It’s normally an old

garter
or a piece of antique family jewelry.
"Something new"
Represents

the new life & the hope for success and good fortune.
"Something borrowed"
The borrowed object might be something such as a lace handkerchief.
"Something blue"
A blue ribbon in a bride's hair symbolize fidelity.
And a silver sixpence is considered as a lucky charm.

Слайд 9Wedding cakes
Cakes have been associated with weddings throughout history.
In

Britain early cakes were flat and round and contained fruit

and nuts, which symbolize fertility.
Now wedding cakes have three tiers. The couple makes the first cut together to symbolize their shared future. The guest who found the ring in the piece of cake would be ensured happiness for the next year.
