March 17, 2012

Irish wedding traditions are all about bringing good luck.  Whatever your ethnicity, take a chance on these customs . . .

Marry on the last day of the old year (December 31), so that you wake up to a fresh life together in a new year.

Ring a small bell just after your vows.  Keep it in your household as a constant reminder of your promises to each other.

Carry a horseshoe in your bouquet.  Since a real one would be too weighty, use a miniature horseshoes (try a charm from lollysmith.com).

Shower coins on your guests, who can throw them over a cliff or into a lake for luck.  For landlocked parties, use a fountain.
