What are religious symbols for roman catholic weddings?
In very traditional weddings the bride’s bouquet, or at least a part of it, is left at the altar for the Virgin Mary as an offering for a good marriage. Most Catholic weddings are performed within the Celebration of the Eucharist, so you have the whole communion symbolism, and the bride and groom sometimes share the communion wine from one cup. The father giving the bride ‘away’ is considered symbolic of God the Father giving The Bride (the Church) to The Holy Groom (Jesus). These are Very Old symbols that are not commonly thought of in modern times, but they do still exist.
