Ancient Italian Traditions from Charlotte Wedding Photographers

This week from Kenneth Light Studios, Charlotte Event Photographers, and Sherri Claypoole Films, Charlotte Event Videographers it’s Ancient Italian Traditions.  Did you know that…

Family and friends set up obstacles for the couple as they made their way to the church.  Examples… a crying child - if the bride could comfort it she would be a good mother, a broom blocking the path – if the bride moved it she would be a good house keeper, even fallen trees were put in the way to see if the couple could use a double handled saw to cut it in half – this would represent their ability to work together for a successful marriage.

Stay tuned, next week it’s Greek!
