Wedding becomes much more special when you hear your loved ones saying their best wishes for you and for your better half. These wedding wordings which are whole heartedly given would bring tears to the eyes of the family members and most of the time even on the spectators.

Weddings have three primary types of wedding wordings or speeches. First is the speech to be given by the father of the bride. The father-of-the-bride’s speeches are usually filled with humor. The father would reminisce about the happy times that they spent in the family. The father would also like to give his wishes to the new member of the family. Seeing the father being as the man that is not really that showy or very vocal about their emotions is a nice and touching view to see. What the father should not do in giving his speech is to put the groom down. As fathers, they would feel that their princesses are being taken away from them. It would not only ruin the occasion but also dishearten their daughters. The father’s perspective on the marriage is that there is going to be a new member in the family. No one is going to be taken away instead, there will be a new addition to the family members. (more…)

A wedding ring can be the most valuable and precious possession in one’s life. It is the visible element that symbolizes the marriage. It is an icon that indicates one’s commitment and loyalty to his/her spouse. Wedding rings are made out of gold, silver, white gold or platinum and are usually worn on the ring finger of the left hand.

According to the British tradition, the best man bears the duty of guarding the two wedding rings until the ceremony. The married couple declares their commitment to each other by wearing the ring after the official wedding ceremony.

The wedding ring is usually worn on the fourth finger of the left hand since that finger has the ‘vein of love’ which is connected to one’s heart. During the classical period this vein was referred as the vena amoris. The Chinese have given an interesting symbolism for all fingers. According to them the thumb represents one’s parents. The index finger symbolises the siblings. The middle finger represents you. The fourth finger represents your life partner and the fifth represents your children. (more…)
