Simon what the hell do you want to come here for anyway? All you do is babble on and on about how screwed up we are.
most wedding traditions, like throwing rice and eating cake, started long ago.
veils.
roman brides wore veils 2,000 years ago.
ah, I can post again
I remember going to LOTS of weddings (seemed to be the jw favorite pass time) but I can't remember one that played "Here comes the bride" They all seemed to play kingdom songs which is funny since all the kingdom songs are just copies of worldly melodies.
