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 for a 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
friends and her family when she needs it. An example of ‘something borrowed’ can be a married
friend’s bridal veil or a friend’s handkerchief.
