Tradiditions? Are they worth following.

With the royal wedding just around the corner, there is much talk about royal wedding traditions – some of which apparently have already been broken, and some that might be broken. One that no bride seems to want to break is to dress like Queen Victoria did on her wedding day more than one hundred years ago.

But strange as it is that brides still choose long dresses and veils which was normal every day wear in Queen Victoria's time, there are even stranger traditions being followed hundreds of years after they were introduced.

For example, ever wondered why the legal profession still wears those weird wigs for their court appearances?

Throughout the human history, wigs were worn for all sorts of reason, sometimes as a fashion fetish, but  most often for very practical reasons.

For example, it's been suggested that the popularity of wigs in England started as a disguise for baldness, often caused by syphilis. And hygiene not being all it could be, many suffered with lice and found it was easier to shave their hair, don a wig which they could throw at their washer woman, instead of trying to keep the lice at bay by continuous washing of the hair.

Time marches on, wigs mainly disappear, but the legal profession still adheres to its wigs. 'English judges and barristers began wearing wigs and robes because everybody in polite society was wearing wigs and robes in those days. They continue to wear them because nobody has ever told them to stop'.'

 Any tradition you think we could do without?

Marry in May

According to the jingle - 'Marry in May, and you'll surely rue the Day'.

 However, it hasn't stopped Prince Harry who is to say 'I do' on 19th May, and other couples in the past who are now celebrating their Wedding Anniversary - some of them their fortieth.

 If you're one of them, here's a poem, included in one of my Celebrant Resource books, '600 Readings' you could use in your Wedding Renewal Ceremony.

WE'VE lived for forty years, dear wife,
  And walked together side by side,
And you to-day are just as dear
  As when you were my bride.

I've tried to make life glad for you,
  One long, sweet honeymoon of joy,
A dream of marital content,
  Without the least alloy.

I've smoothed all boulders from our path,
  That we in peace might toil along,
By always hastening to admit
  That I was right and you were wrong.

No mad diversity of creed
  Has ever sundered me from thee;
For I permit you evermore
  To borrow your ideas of me.

And thus it is, through weal or woe,
  Our love forevermore endures;
For I permit that you should take
  My views and creeds, and make them yours.

And thus I let you have my way,
  And thus in peace we toil along,
For I am willing to admit
  That I am right and you are wrong.

And when our matrimonial skiff
  Strikes snags in love's meandering stream,
I lift our skiff from the rocks,
  And float as in a placid dream.

And well I know our marriage bliss
  While life shall last will never cease;
For I shall always let thee do,
  In generous love, just what I please.

Peace comes, and discord flies away,
  Love's bright day follows hatred's night;
For I am ready to admit
  That you are wrong and I am right.
Sam Walter Foss 1858 - 1911)
