TEEING OFF * WITH deNISSOFF
Early in the month, a release
on “wedding customs” appeared
on our desk, and as June, tradi
tional month of brides is just
about to bow out, we have finally
found time to peruse the three
pages and to discover therein the
supposed origin of many of the
better-known wedding traditions.
Here are some:
Engagement ring—this repre
sents the very old custom of .a
gift to a girl desired in marriage.
The diamond ring originated in
Italy where the diamond was be
lieved to be a “flame of love.” In
Egypt, the ring symbolized etern
ity and also, the “captive bride”
whose hands were tied to prevent
her from escaping. Anglo-Saxons
wore the ring on the right hand
until the wedding when it was
transferred to the left.
Old shoes—To Egypt also is
credited the custom of throwing
old shoes or tieing them to the
bridal car. Here the father hand
ed the bride’s sandal to the bride
groom, symbolizing a transfer of
authority.
Orange blossoms—The Moham
medans in the middle ages used
orange blossoms, their most pro
lific fruit, in their ceremonies and
today, their use symbolizes the
hope that the couple will be bless
ed with children.
Rice and sunshine apparently
carried the same hope of chil
dren—it was formerly believed
that if the bride looked at the
sun, she would have children—
thus the expression “happy the
bride the sun shines on.”
to cry, symbolizing her dismay
(in olden times) at having been
captured by force. This capture
is now reflected in the custom of
the bridegroom carrying his wife
over the threshold of their new
home.
Something blue — in ancient
Israel, the bride’s robe had a
blue border signifying purity,
fidelity and love—thus the cus
tom of “something old, something
new, something borrowed ai^d
something blue.”
The veil—among other reasons
for the wedding veil, this is
thought to have indicated long
ago that the bride had been se
cluded from men until her wed
ding. Japanese tradition requires
the bride to wear a veil over her
elaborate hairdo called a “horn
coverer.” Jealousy is thought to
vanish when it is removed. \
One thing ’ we have noticed
about weddings which apparent
ly has nothing to do with custom
or reason is that they invariably
seem to blossom out in masses at
holidays like, for instance, the
fourth of July week now almost
upon us, or at Christmas—periods
when news is always unusually
heavy and there is less time to
deal with this abundance because
of the holiday.
Sandhills Summer Qub
Winners Score Net 63
Winning combination in Tues
day’s Sandhills Summer Club
tournament was the team of Mrs.
John E. Bhrry, Jr. and Mrs. Den
nis G. Crotty, who turned in a
net 63 in the better ball of blind
partners event. Names of part
ners were drawn after the field
was out.
Mrs. E. A. Regan and Mrs. J,
J. McCarthy scored 64 for run
ner-up spot.
