Wedding - The Big Day


Traditions
Tradition states that in ancient times, many marriages were by capture and not by choice. When a man wanted an unwilling woman, he would carry her off to a secret place where her relatives could not find them. After the moon went through all its phases (usually 30 days), they hid and drank brew that was made from honey. Here is where we derive the term 'honeymoon'. Nowadays, it's traditional for a 'willing' Bride to escape to a new, uncharted territory with her Groom. By unraveling new mysteries of the land and embarking on new adventures this becomes metaphorical for the terrain of their new path as husband and wife.
