British Wedding Traditions
The legend of the Chimney Sweep originates from England. It is said that if a bride passes a Chimney Sweep on her wedding day, and he plants a kiss on her cheek, she will receive tremendous luck throughout her marriage.
These days, Chimney Sweeps can be hired to perform at the wedding reception, which adds a nice touch to the day.
Another English tradition is the throwing of petals in the bride's path as she walks down the aisle, symbolising that she will have a beautiful and happy life whichever path she may choose in life.
