Weddings experienced by Irish immigrants

Irish weddings are also exquisite and full of romance. Traditional wedding supplies such as bridal gown, gold ring and clanton ring make the traditional Irish wedding full of mystery. Melodious bagpipes and fluttering pleated skirts brought us into the wedding hall in Ireland. The auditorium is romantic and warm.

(clanton Ring) It is named after clanton, a fishing village in Jiahuai (West Ireland). Clanton ring is passed from mother to daughter and can be used as an engagement or wedding ring.

In the 18 and 19 centuries, the Irish believed that if the sun shone on the bride, it would bring good luck to the couple. Similarly, if you can hear cuckoo calls or see magpies on the morning of the wedding, it means luck. After the wedding, it is men, not women, who should bless the bride and the couple first.

Honey means meala in Irish, and honeymoon means Mina meala, which means how the bride and groom spend this time. (Irish skilled immigrants) After the wedding, people use special goblets (without handles) to hold enough honey for the bride and groom to enjoy one month after the wedding (the moon changes every month). This is how the honeymoon is born. People think that eating honey is a way to indicate a good start of marriage.

Because Irish men are timid, once the bride and groom enter the church, the guests will lock the door immediately to ensure that he can attend the whole wedding ceremony.

The people attending the wedding gathered around the bride and groom. All the cups were filled with mead, while the newlyweds recited the Irish toast: "Friends and relatives, it's so nice of you to come to the wedding. This beautiful scene will remain in our hearts for many years. " Let's drink a glass of Irish mead and pray to God. The guests also responded: "On this special day, we have our blessing and God's blessing to accompany you. God will bless you two to drink mead and satisfy all your wishes. "

Many members of the Irish extended family are members of the wind band, so it is normal for them to play at the wedding. Popular tunes include not only Scottish Highland Dance and Bale Dance, but also Lear Dance, Kigg Dance and Horn Dance. These songs are not only good to listen to, but also enjoyable to dance. Many dancers wear the pleated skirt of Carte, which was worn by their ancestors in the Middle Ages, so it seems that they can only be worn on special occasions, perhaps to find back the old days.

Traditional Irish recipes include Irish soda bread, corned beef and Chinese cabbage. Maybe these are not what you want, but if cooked properly, as a menu for a grand wedding banquet, it will be very delicious and add a lot of atmosphere to the wedding.
