In This Picture:
The groom is putting a shoe on his bride’s foot.
This is a true Cinderella moment. Whilst i don’t know the actual details of this particular wedding, it is tradition for the groom to buy the brides wedding shoes and offered it to her with money as a wedding gift. I thought it was bad luck for the groom to see the bride before she walks down the aisle… maybe that’s just another superstition.
You can see a close up of the money and the shoes in another post called ‘Shoes With Money’ and read about another shoe ritual called ‘The Bridal Shoe’.
Do you know about any other shoe rituals?
Post Notes from Kathleen:
On the day of her wedding my cousin Kathleen wrote the names of all her bridesmades on the bottem of her shoe. Apparently the number of names that rubbed off by the end of the night would determine how many children she would have.
There are different versions of this tradition such as the one described by Prêt à Voyager in another blog post: The Bridal Shoe.
Do you know any other shoe rituals or explainations of the ritual described above?
