A century ago, the phrase “something borrowed” meant one thing – another woman's undergarment. According to English folklore, the “something borrowed” part was meant to enhance the bride's fertility, meaning she would put on the underwear belonging to another woman, who already had been pregnant, in order to increase her likelihood of childbearing. Strange but a fact! Luckily, modern brides don’t do that anymore.

Always think about the power backup at your wedding reception. Especially when you’re having a backyard wedding, B&B wedding, outdoor wedding, or wedding in a place not prepared for such big events. Just imagine power goes off during your wedding and you can do nothing about it! Such a situation happens even in the most developed and high-tech cities – bad weather conditions might damage wires, power systems might brake-down, or even some accident right at your venue might leave you without power for hours. Of course, most specialized wedding venues usually have power backup, as it’s their business to provide for the event. But if you’re responsible for organizing the wedding, consider preparing power backup or at least find out where to order it quickly in you area in case of emergency.

It happens sometimes that a Muslim wedding isn’t consummated right away. For instance, the bride is too young and the newlyweds wait a couple of years before starting a physical relationship or the couple can’t live together after the marriage for some reason but wants to make the said marriage official. Or there can be other situations. Anyway, it is possible to wed the man and woman, sign the papers, and arrange the religious ceremony, but the wedding will be consummated after some time. Such weddings can be held even without the bride present (although, her consent is significant). In this case, a relative of the bride comes to the ceremony and acts on her behalf. He signs the papers and celebrates with the groom’s family. It seems a bit weird for the Western culture, but in the Islamic culture, it’s possible.

Ideally, book a wedding makeup artist and hairstylist about 4 months before the wedding. The best and most successful specialists are often booked several months ahead, so don’t delay making arrangements with them. Of course, you are free to book the vendors even earlier, but 4 months ahead is sort of a deadline.

In the 17th century, many women kept their bridal dress to be buried in it when the time comes. It was common to use a wedding dress as burial attire as well. Why spend more money on clothing if you can reuse your bridal gown?! Besides, at the time, a lot of females died in childbirth, so marriage could mean early death for them. There is even confirmed info that some 17th-18th-century women laid out their wedding dress or other attire they wanted to be buried in before going into labor – if they died, their family would know exactly how to dress them to the grave.
