Hand fasting was also another form of a wedding band in those times where only the Rich could afford wedding bands. Second It's also a symbol of two families becoming one family. In Scottish Tradition using a piece of both families tartans are used to symbolize this .
Bridal veil is in scripture Rebekah covered her faceso did Leah in Jewish weddings i gues its why they lift the veil to be sure it is the chosen woman . ?.
Thank you for your comment! You’re right that veils are mentioned in Scripture, such as when Rebekah covered her face before meeting Isaac (Genesis 24:65) and in the context of Leah and Rachel’s story. In these instances, veils were cultural symbols of modesty and respect. However, the bridal veil tradition discussed in the video specifically refers to its origins in Roman and medieval superstitions, where it was believed to ward off evil spirits.
Ok this is odd, I'm married and never heard of any of these enspecially the first 2, the veil is the only one i heared of, but not to keep evil away, just as a a peace of the brides clothing.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Many of these traditions have evolved over time, so it’s not surprising that their original meanings might not be widely known. The bridal veil, for instance, is now mostly seen as a beautiful part of the bride's outfit, but its origins in superstition show how cultural practices can shift. It’s always good to reflect on the roots of traditions to ensure they align with our faith. God bless you! 🙏
ummmm...the early christian women DID wear veils....HELLOOOO....icons and painting from the first century church confirm this, and some of the things you mention are things that are universal practices done by many different peoples, not just "pagans"
Thank you for sharing your perspective! You’re absolutely right that early Christian women often wore veils, but their purpose was rooted in modesty and reverence, as mentioned in 1 Corinthians 11:5-6, rather than superstition or protection from evil spirits, which was the focus of the bridal veil’s origins discussed in the video. As for universal practices, you make a great point-some customs do overlap across cultures. However, the concern is with their origins and spiritual implications. As Christians, it’s important to discern whether a practice aligns with biblical principles or conflicts with our faith.
Thank you for your question! The use of horseshoes in weddings as symbols of luck originates from ancient Roman and Celtic traditions. It was believed that the iron in horseshoes warded off evil spirits, and the crescent shape symbolized fertility and protection. This is discussed in 'The Origins of Popular Superstitions and Customs' by T. Sharper Knowlson. In some traditions, brides would carry or display a horseshoe as a charm for good fortune. While it may not be widely practiced today, it’s interesting how these customs have influenced modern traditions.
I understand the astrology one, but I'm wondering if the others are bunk. I'd like to know where this information came from. Like, what sources were they found in?
Thank you for your thoughtful question! The information in the video is based on historical research and cultural studies. For example, handfasting is discussed in 'The Golden Bough' by Sir James George Frazer, which explores ancient Celtic and Wiccan practices. The origins of the bridal veil can be found in 'Roman Weddings: Ritual and Meaning in Antiquity' by Karen K. Hersch, which details the Roman flammeum and its symbolic use. For luck-based practices, 'The Origins of Popular Superstitions and Customs' by T. Sharper Knowlson offers insights into charms like the horseshoe. These sources highlight the roots of these rituals, which are often tied to pagan or superstitious beliefs. I encourage you to explore these resources for deeper context-thanks for asking!

Hebrew weddings had veils, still do; so we adopted it from them

where did you come up with the horse shoes? NEVER heard of it.
Before I was a Christian I had one of these horse shoes wrapped in silk on my wedding boquet. My marriage lasted 7yrs.

Soooo we should marry naked (Genesis) and the ideal bride is a teen (as Mary was).
I feel like this was fake
What in the Jehovah's Witness is this?
