Yes, it is June the traditional month for Weddings! Ever wonder about some of our traditions? A lot of them stem from ancient superstitions and for good or bad luck: Why do we wear veils and not see each other the day of the wedding?

In ancient times, marriages were arranged by families and were often nothing more than good business deals. It happened more often than not that the first time the couples saw one another was standing at the altar on their wedding day. To ensure the groom wouldn't have second thoughts at the sight of a bride perhaps less attractive than he's assumed, veils were used to cover the bride's face. The veil was not lifted until the very end of the ceremony, only after the groom had already said, "I do." This may also be the reason why traditionally the bride and groom are not allowed to see each other the day of the wedding.

Anyway we have a lot of gifts appropriate for weddings and showers. We also offer a BRIDAL REGISTRY that has been very fruitful for some! Above is a picture of our awesome
