My friend Gids,who is an event stylist and a wedding coordinator , called me up last week inviting me to attend the opening of SM Rosales-Bridal Fair which started last June 15, 2009 and will end on June 20, 2009. I love attending bridal fairs to be honest...and I dream to be a lovely June bride someday.:)
But how did the June weddings originated?
History tells us that June Weddings have roots in early Roman times, Pagan traditions and the Elizabethan England… The Roman goddess Juno -- goddess of women’s well being and marriage lends her name to this month.
Pagan traditions of hand-fasting, summer solstice -- the longest day of the year, first harvest -- not only of crops but said to be the ‘harvest of emotions” are all part of the origin of the June wedding. Our current honeymoon, has origins in the Pagan “honey moon” -- the first moon after the summer solstice and named for the honey-flavored mead drunk after the solstice hand-fasting.
Just want to share these pictures I have taken during the SM-Rosales Bridal Fair.
To all june brides and grooms...May God bless you all!
Live... Love and Be Blessed
