• At one time, weddings were week-long celebrations. In today's harried times, the rehearsal dinner creates perhaps the only chance for the couple's families to socialize.• The word "bridal" comes from an old English custom. The bride brewed a strong "bride-ale" which was sold to friends after the wedding to help start the couple off.
• June became the month for weddings, because it was considered good luck to marry during the month named after Juno, the goddess of marriage and family.

I often wondered why most weddings in this country take place in June, when it is so darn hot! My daughter is getting married next year, on June 30th and she has asked me to play the harp for it! Time to practice!
