COMMON WEDDING RITUALS IN THE USA
Being a country of different cultural races, there is a great variety of wedding styles in the United
States. However, the majority of weddings nowadays still follow a number of traditions. One of the
traditions dating back to the nineteenth century is about what a bride should wear on her wedding
day. It is commonly believed that on her wedding day, the bride should carry with her 'something
old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue’. This is because each of these things

has a special meaning for the bride on this big day.
When a bride wears 'something old’, it reminds her of her family and the past. Thus, some brides
may wear their mother's wedding dress or a piece of her jewellery.
'Something new’ that the bride wears means good luck and hope fora happy future with her
husband. This new item is usually a pair of new shoes, or it can be the wedding dress or something
else.
When the bride wears 'something borrowed’, it symbolizes the help and support she gets from her
friend sand her family whenever she needs it. An example of 'something borrowed’ can be a married
friend's bridal veil or a friend's handkerchief.
'Something blue’ means trust and faith between the bride and the groom. Nowadays, some brides
are creative with this item. For example, they may have their fingernails painted blue. Nevertheless,
the most popular blue item is the garter that the bride wears on her leg.
Things are changing fast these days; however, the rituals about what the bride should wear on her
wedding day remain kept strictly by a lot of women in the USA.
