A couple of Italian descent are more than welcome to weave\u00a0<a title=\"Italian Wedding Traditions\" href=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wedding-reception\/italian-wedding-traditions\">Italian traditions into their wedding<\/a> \u2014 whether or not they\u2019ve<br \/>\never set foot in Italy. Many of us find that the most satisfying weddings combine nostalgic old traditions with contemporary ways of doing things. And old religious observances, historic dances, and traditional Italian foods are sure to give your wedding a warm Italian heart.<\/p>\n<p><strong>As everyone knows, Roman Catholicism\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"bold-it\"><strong>is Italy\u2019s primary religion.<\/strong><\/span> So a traditional Italian wedding typically means a traditional Catholic wedding as well, including a full mass with the ceremony. However, it\u2019s still true that not every Italian is Catholic. Although it may be a bit unusual, if you and your partner aren\u2019t Catholic, you can still incorporate the Italian traditions in your reception. One of the most charming is the dove release, symbolizing the love and affection of each newlywed for the other, although this tradition is not very old.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wpInsert wpInsertInPostAd wpInsertMiddle\"><\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s possible to add a few other charming Italian traditions to\u00a0your wedding ceremony. One is for the groom to keep a small piece\u00a0of iron in his pocket throughout the ceremony, to ward off evil\u00a0spirits and bring the couple good luck. Believe it or not, another\u00a0is for the bride to slightly tear her veil, which is also said to\u00a0bring blessings to the couple. A couple can participate in another\u00a0old Italian tradition by tying ribbons to the chapel entrance, which\u00a0symbolize their new bond.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_44983\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44983\" style=\"width: 620px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-44983\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/76b292bd6be9af6a8c3c429d32935e7a.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"962\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/76b292bd6be9af6a8c3c429d32935e7a.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/76b292bd6be9af6a8c3c429d32935e7a-516x800.jpg 516w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/76b292bd6be9af6a8c3c429d32935e7a-193x300.jpg 193w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/76b292bd6be9af6a8c3c429d32935e7a-500x776.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-44983\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-44983\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/76b292bd6be9af6a8c3c429d32935e7a.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"962\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/76b292bd6be9af6a8c3c429d32935e7a.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/76b292bd6be9af6a8c3c429d32935e7a-516x800.jpg 516w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/76b292bd6be9af6a8c3c429d32935e7a-193x300.jpg 193w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/76b292bd6be9af6a8c3c429d32935e7a-500x776.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/noscript> The Pretty Blog<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>You\u2019ll probably find that the richest place for incorporating old\u00a0world tradition is in the reception following the ceremony. Customarily,\u00a0your guests assemble in the reception room before you arrive, where\u00a0they\u2019ll be served spirits: sweet liquers for the women, and stronger\u00a0drinks for the men. It\u2019s important that everyone be served before\u00a0you show up, because tradition demands that they offer you a toast\u00a0the moment you arrive.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"bold-it\"><strong>No Italian wedding is complete without\u00a0a few traditional dances, such as the Tarantella<\/strong>. <\/span>Although\u00a0the Tarantella\u2019s origin is somewhat murky, most of the stories about\u00a0it involve a spider bite, and tell of a dance either meant to counteract\u00a0the venom, or one that simply mimics the uncontrolled motions of\u00a0the sufferer.<\/p>\n<p>At any rate, these days the Tarantella is performed at wedding\u00a0parties to wish the couple a fine future together. Participants\u00a0form a circle and dance in a clockwise direction, until the music\u00a0speeds up and the dancers must change direction. The tempo changes\u00a0several times, each time forcing the dancers to change direction\u00a0and dance even faster. The Tarantella continues until it becomes\u00a0impossible to keep up, and the dance falls apart.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_44985\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44985\" style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-44985\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/4a5ddf829e02b12525d382282b4d8ded.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"825\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/4a5ddf829e02b12525d382282b4d8ded.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/4a5ddf829e02b12525d382282b4d8ded-533x800.jpg 533w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/4a5ddf829e02b12525d382282b4d8ded-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/4a5ddf829e02b12525d382282b4d8ded-500x750.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-44985\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-44985\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/4a5ddf829e02b12525d382282b4d8ded.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"825\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/4a5ddf829e02b12525d382282b4d8ded.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/4a5ddf829e02b12525d382282b4d8ded-533x800.jpg 533w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/4a5ddf829e02b12525d382282b4d8ded-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/4a5ddf829e02b12525d382282b4d8ded-500x750.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/noscript> colincowieweddings<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the most distinguishing aspect\u00a0<\/strong><strong>of an Italian wedding? The food, of course.\u00a0<\/strong>The Italians invented the evocative word abbondanza, which somehow means something more than mere \u201cabundance,\u201d and no Italian wedding would be complete without an overwhelming feast of many courses. Traditionally, the wedding reception begins with an antipasto course of cheeses, olives, mushrooms, and pickled sweet peppers. This course is followed by subsequent courses starring pastas, meats, salads, soups, and desserts, each one punctuated by freely flowing wine.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s interesting to note that some of the foods at an Italian wedding\u00a0have symbolic overtones. For example, the giving of sugar-coated\u00a0almonds to guests symbolizes that marriage is both bitter and sweet.\u00a0The number of almonds given is associated with traditional meanings:\u00a0for example, three almonds speak to fertility, while five almonds\u00a0wish for wealth.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_44986\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44986\" style=\"width: 736px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-44986\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/de501fd3cbda6298c27815ad1659af65.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"736\" height=\"1479\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/de501fd3cbda6298c27815ad1659af65.jpg 736w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/de501fd3cbda6298c27815ad1659af65-398x800.jpg 398w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/de501fd3cbda6298c27815ad1659af65-149x300.jpg 149w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/de501fd3cbda6298c27815ad1659af65-510x1024.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/de501fd3cbda6298c27815ad1659af65-500x1005.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/de501fd3cbda6298c27815ad1659af65-672x1350.jpg 672w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 736px) 100vw, 736px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-44986\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-44986\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/de501fd3cbda6298c27815ad1659af65.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"736\" height=\"1479\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/de501fd3cbda6298c27815ad1659af65.jpg 736w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/de501fd3cbda6298c27815ad1659af65-398x800.jpg 398w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/de501fd3cbda6298c27815ad1659af65-149x300.jpg 149w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/de501fd3cbda6298c27815ad1659af65-510x1024.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/de501fd3cbda6298c27815ad1659af65-500x1005.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/de501fd3cbda6298c27815ad1659af65-672x1350.jpg 672w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 736px) 100vw, 736px\" \/><\/noscript> rockmywedding.co.uk<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Another authentic wedding tradition\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"bold-it\"><strong>is the breaking of a glass at the reception\u2019s end,<\/strong> <\/span>somewhat like a similar tradition within the Jewish faith. However, the deeper symbolism underlying these traditions is very different. Within Judaism, the broken glass symbolizes human frailty and the hardship the couple\u2019s ancestors endured as a result of their faith. But in Italian weddings, the broken glass points toward the future. The number of shards is said to predict the number of happy years the couple will have together.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s deeply satisfying for couples of Italian descent to weave\u00a0these traditional elements into their modern-day wedding. Even if\u00a0only your distant relatives still reside on Italian soil and you\u2019ve\u00a0never been to Italy, it\u2019s still absolutely fine to follow these\u00a0traditions. And that\u2019s not to say you have to be Italian, either\u00a0\u2014 all that\u2019s required is that you appreciate the richness of Italian\u00a0culture and are willing to try something new.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite what you might think, you don\u2019t have to be a sun-kissed\u00a0couple fresh from the shores of Sicily in order to have an Italian wedding.
