First of all, the bride and groom are signed in the registry office, where there are only the closest relatives. Then everyone goes to the church. Here the wedding ceremony takes place. According to Germanic beliefs, it is necessary to get married before dinner, when the sun shines. It is believed that the sun’s rays increase the happiness of the newlyweds.
The groom appears in front of the bride’s house on a horse-drawn carriage. She is not allowed to turn back as it is a bad omen. The path to the altar is sprinkled with flower petals. It is believed that they attract the favor of the goddess of fertility. The bride is placed on her head with a wreath of beads and precious stones. She will take it off after 12 at night. Also an obligatory attribute is a bouquet of myrtle. This tradition appeared in the XIX century, when Queen Victoria made such a bouquet for her daughter and grandchildren. After that, there was a tradition to make wedding bouquets with myrtle.
