Even in these modern times, many Irish couples try to include ancient customs in their wedding,
|
|
in the hope that it will bring them luck and happiness.
|
|
|
Here are some of the traditions
|
[ hiə ɑ: sʌm əv ðe trə'diʃnz ]
|
that Irish people follow on their wedding day.
|
|
|
In the past, the groom was invited to the bride's house just before the wedding
|
|
and a goose was cooked in his honour.
|
|
|
Many Irish people believe that showing such generosity to the groom will make sure
|
|
that he won't change his mind about the wedding at the last minute!
|
|
|
A traditional Irish bride doesn't spend a fortune
|
[ ə trə'diʃənl 'aiəriʃ braid dɔesn't spend ə 'fɔ:ʧən ]
|
on bouquets of exotic flowers.
|
|
|
Instead, she usually wears a wreath of wild flowers in her hair,
|
|
freshly picked on the morning of her wedding.
|
|
|
She carries more wild flowers in her hands,
|
[ ʃi: 'kæriz mɔ: waild 'flauəz in hə: hændz ]
|
as well as a 'magic' handkerchief and a horseshoe for luck.
|
|
|
Nowadays, however, most Irish couples visit their local baker
|
|
and order a cake which is decorated with Irish themes such as swans or fairies.
|
|
|
According to tradition, the couple save the top layer of the cake and store it in a tin
|
|
to use it as the christening cake for their first baby.
|
|
|
Whether you believe in them or not, Ireland is traditionally the home of fairies,
|
|
who are said to love beautiful things - especially brides!
|
|
|
For this reason, Irish wisdom advises brides never to wear green on their wedding day
|
|
or to dance with both feet off the ground.
|
|
|
Because both of these things will tempt the fairies
|
[ bi:'kɔ:z bəuθ əv ði:z θiŋz wil tempt ðe 'fɛəriz ]
|
to carry them off forever!
