Here’s a hint: our ancestors were VERY afraid of evil and VERY into kidnapping.

We all know they will still do the traditional wedding style regardless of what this video says. No red dress will be worn and rings will be given.
So they actually stole their heart
Kinda funny how brides make a big deal about choosing a dress when they all just choose the same unflattering sleeveless white dress
None of this goes too far into the pre-christian origins of any of these things. It should be called "The christian origins of wedding stuff: Evil spirits edition"…. The Honey Moon was Norse in Origin a groom would keep Honey mead hidden away until the first full moon after a wedding. If it was discovered by the bride or if it was consumed at an inappropriate time it was a sign of a cursed marriage. It prophesied bad luck.
2:13 IS THAT TOM HOLLAND???
I get super gay vibes from her fiance.
The reason white dresses are so popular is because Queen Victoria wore one. Simple.

Thats why there is so much devorce ward off all that evil spirits yall
her dog at the end 😂😂😂😂😂😂
OMG both of them just needs to come out of the closet already!
Was that Bernie Sanders?
Women also carried flowers because people weren't always able to bathe frequently.
The dog at the end was not amused by her question lol
Is that Kurt from Carmilla?
Actually the bride's held a bouquet because they had a good shower once a year and they held those to hide the stench
Random Fact: In Latin the letter “v” is pronounced as a “w”.
My great-great-great grandad kidnapped his bride/ my great-great-great grandmom who was the niece of the king, I believe. Like you said, it was culture to kidnap your bride.
They say u should wear a red dress like the rest of the world but then theyd scream cultural appropriation if u actually did that like they did with the poor girl who went to her prom in an Asian dress
Also the flowers, people used to not wash very often so if they couldn’t wash before their wedding the women used the flowers to smell good
My aunt wore a red dress to her wedding
In China, white is the color of DEATH!
This is why I don’t want to get married.
oh… hi
