The Roman origins of the “June bride” isn’t as romantic as it sounds, but in modern times we have infused meaning and magic into the idea.
June, prime wedding time, is just around the corner. History says that the tradition of June weddings came from ancient Roman culture. Juno, Jupiter’s wife and the goddess of marriage, was officially celebrated on June 1, so many families chose this month to plan weddings. Luckily, today in the U.S. June is filled with the flowers and scents of summer. It’s the time of year when Nature blossoms green, young and full of life.
Some of our other wedding traditions hark from ancient Roman times, as well. For example, these were also the days when grooms began carrying the bride over the threshold to protect her from “evil spirits.” Furthermore, grooms began standing on the right hand side of the bride so he could easily access his sword in case marauding rivals came to steal the bride. And, um, fathers “escorted” their daughters down the aisle because the patriarchs generally used the marriage to pay off debts or advance their careers.
Happily, we’ve given these traditions a more romantic spin. Fast-forward to 2015, and love now fuels our marriages.
