Your bride has tried on an endless stream of white gowns, each more beautiful than the last. Totally overwhelmed, she ponders aloud, “Whose idea was it that brides have to wear white for their wedding, anyway?”

Weddings (and the institution of marriage) have almost always been wrapped in tradition, so much so that people often become upset when a couple wants to deviate from those usual wedding customs. The fact though is that many people would probably be appalled if they knew the roots of some of these traditions. Even if they are aware where these traditions come from, maybe they choose to forget it come wedding time. However, as an offbeat bride, I think it is especally important to muse on old wedding customs. At least when you tell people why you've made these decisions, you can explain the historical significance.

How the old dowry tradition morphed into the tradition of the bride's parents paying for the wedding and the feelings and ramifications behind that tradition.

Even though this rarely applies these days, it's interesting to note all the costs expected of the bride's family, once upon a time. Think everything from invitations and stationery (with the exception of rehearsal dinner invites) to accommodations for bridesmaids. Also included are obvious things like the wedding dress, accessories, and hair and makeup.

Deciding who pays for what for the wedding can be tricky. We're breaking down all the expenses and who should cover them.
