The custom of exchanging wedding bands Sydney goes back to wedding
ceremonies performed in Ancient Rome and is commonly thought, by historians, to
be much older than that. The exchange of Sydney wedding band between the
bride and the groom has lasted more than three millennia, and is very much alive
and popular today, continuing to symbolize unity everlasting unity between the
spouses.
Wedding bands were traditionally
exchanged at a betrothal, where an engagement ring was given as the first of a
series of gifts from the bride to the groom (in some cultures, it may work the
other way round; in others, it works both ways) which ends at the wedding
ceremony with another wedding ring to symbolize that the couple has been
married. This is a practice followed ordinarily by Eastern Orthodox Churches and
Catholic Churches in the East, where the wedding is presented to the groom by
the priest or by the groom's best man. Subsequently, the groom puts the wedding
band on the bride's finger. In the recent past, the Greek Orthodox Church has
done away with the ring exchanged at the betrothal ceremony and now maintains
the custom of exchanging wedding bands only at the wedding ceremony
itself.
In other cultures, such as in India, many brides traditionally wore their wedding band on their toes. This is called the 'bichiya' and symbolizes the same sentiment as wedding bands on the fingers, but are increasingly being done away with, replaced by the modern and Western counterpart: the wedding band on the finger.
Most wedding music bands Sydney are made either of gold or of silver, because they symbolize not only a unity in love, but also symbolize the practice of the bestowal of wealth by the groom onto the wife. In fact, records of a ceremony and an excerpt from the prayer book of King Edward VI of England show that the priest was required to wed the couple with the ring, but also to bestow silver and gold on the wife from the husband as part of the ceremony. These words were traditionally followed by the groom giving the bride a purse made of leather, filled with coins made of gold and silver.
This goes back to times and traditions when weddings took place more the sake of monetary stability than for love. As an old, and now out of use, German wedding vow shows, the exchange of wedding bands was more a condition than a promise of love. The groom only puts the best wedding bands Sydney on the wife as a symbol of the fact that her father had promised to pay him one thousand Reichsthalers.
However, in modern times, and mostly in western countries, marriages are a bond between individuals - the husband and the wife - rather than a bond between the families as an attempt towards social and monetary stability. So, in modern times, especially among members of the Catholic, Greek Orthodox, Protestant Churches - and sometimes among the Jewish community - couples have begun the practice of exchanging two bands: both the wife and the husband give wedding bands Sydney to each other, to symbolize an equal standing in the marriage.

On first discovering a website that offers
wedding entertainment in Melbourne, you may be astounded by the sheer variety
that is on offer. With everything ranging from magicians, comedians, and
singers, to children's shows and 60's rock 'n' roll impersonation acts, you
would not know what hit you! So it is imperative, before you start, to figure
out what kind of mood you would like to leave the guests at your wedding in.
Would you like to leave them gushing at, the new couple, or dancing happily with
their own partners? Perhaps you would like to let them sit back in their chairs
and enjoy an uncannily accurate impersonation of Elvis Presley? You would want
to make sure their kids are not running around here and there, would you not?
Well, wedding entertainment organizers and specialists have all this and more in
mind!
Before you try to make a plan about your wedding
day, plan it about who is going to take the complete charge for making the day
all successful. If you are able to afford some planners and is in contact with
someone from the profession who is equally reputable and reliable then don't
waste much time in deciding whether to appoint them, because it seems to be the
best choice to plan your day perfectly. Unfortunately, most of the people do not
afford to appoint any planner or even does not have trust on how they will be
handling their wedding. So all they end up is planning all of them.
Some of the biggest fault which most of the time
people make while hiring some corporate party entertainers Sydney is that
they obtain all the artists who are not offering wholesome. All it will be
taking some unpleasant statements by your humorists who will actually be making
the crowd all uncomfortable. All the time while hiring keep in mind that for
whom the entertainer is going to be hired. Who is going to be your target
audience? Try to call for corporate event entertainment Sydney who will
be making performance that will purely be family friendly.
