I agree, it is interesting! I really enjoy the fact that people put so much thought into what they chose for their wedding ceremonies. I truly think its a beautiful thing.
My issue is with the traditions that point to the groom being an independent person capable of making his own decisions, and the bride being a piece of property to be sold off. I promise you, had my husband said he wasn't going to wear a ring, but insisted that I do, he wouldn't be my husband.
