wedding trivia
The expression- tying the knot-goes back to roman times when the bride wore a girdle that was tied in a knot which the groom then had the fun of untying.
The tradition of bridesmaids wearing similar gowns to the bride was from ancient days when it was believed that evil spirits would have a more difficult time distinguishing the bride from the bridesmaid.
Juno, queen of heaven is the Roman goddess who rules over marriage. The month of June takes its name from her, making it the most popular month for weddings.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records the longest engagement lasted 67 years. The happy couple eventually wed at age 82.
