Something Old, Something New: British Wedding Folklore & Traditions

Weddings are often a 'stand out' event in many people's lives, whether as guests or members of the bridal party. It's hardly surprising that such an important day has accrued so much wedding folklore to ensure the marriage goes well.

From the cake to the bouquet, the dress to the date itself, most elements of a wedding have helpful sayings, prohibitions, or dedicated rituals attached. Find out more about these traditions in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!
