The Greeks believed that placing a sugar cube inside the bride’s glove would “sweeten” the marriage. Ancient Romans used to believe that they could determine the best time to marry by studying pig innards. Yuck!

The Japanese were the first to make a white wedding dress the traditional attire for brides.
