Irish wedding traditions are designed to help new couples be blessed with the luck of the Irish, and this is after all well known world-wide as being the best luck! You couldn't do much better than marry on the 17th March which is St. Patrick's Day, but not everyone who wants to incorporate these traditions into their wedding celebrations can be married on the same day.

Let's start with the Claddagh ring, this ring is traditionally passed down the generations from mother to daughter, and should only be given as a gift. It is not the kind of ring that anyone should purchase for themselves. The Claddagh ring has its traditions in the small fishing village of the same name in Galway County. When a betrothal takes place the ring is worn in the right ring finger with the heart turned inward. After the marriage takes place it is worn on the left hand ring finger with the heart turned out.

While some traditions dictate that it is lucky to have rain on your wedding day, the Irish do not. They believe for the couple to be lucky, the sun must at least shine on the bride, I think I agree with this. Superstitious such as throwing a shoe over the head of the bride, carrying a horseshoe and "Marry in May Rue the Day", all still matter to Irish traditionalists. Bells are believed to keep away evil spirits and if the mother-in-law breaks wedding cake over the brides head, they are said to be friends for life.

An Irish wedding toast does not necessarily mean only the Best Man speaks. The couple speaks a special recital, and they are responded to by all of the guests who toast with mead. Mead is a strong honeyed wine which is the oldest recorded alcoholic drink in Ireland, and has very strong connections to the word honeymoon.

In Ireland, bridal fashions pretty much follow the rest of the world, they change according to the times, but one thing remains - Irish Lace. This fabric may be used in the dress, veil or anywhere on the brides person. It can be in the form of a handkerchief or tied around her bouquet, even given to attendants as gifts. If it is a supremely Irish color scheme you want for your wedding, the only one to have is white, green and orange.

A traditional color theme would be the white green and orange and it would not be an Irish wedding if there was no piper. As apposed to the Scots bagpipes the Irish piper can play the Uillean pipes and plays the "Irish Wedding Song" on these. Dressed in his kilts, he will make an admirable impression on the celebration.

Traditional Irish fare may not be on the top of the list of culinary delights to serve your guests. But if it is well cooked, soda bread, corned beef and cabbage can still taste good. After a few drams of Irish whiskey, your guests should be ready to eat anything. A wedding cake in the Irish tradition is a fruit cake. This is a luxurious treat that is made with cherries, raisins, almonds and spices.

The word Honeymoon derives from the Celtic Mi na Meala. In medieval times the newly married couple was sent off with a supply of mead (honey wine), two goblets and best wishes for virility and fertility. They drank this for the entire month of the new marriage and if a child was born 9 months after the day of the nuptials this was attributed to the mead.
