The rings depicts a heart,held by
two hands with a crown over it. Many "lassies" now
wear the Claddagh ring, but only those that are wed wear it
with the hands facing in.
The Claddagh ring has been handed down from mother to daughter
and is used as betrothal and wedding rings. It is worn with
the crowns facing inward, toward the wrist, on betrothal,
and outward, toward the nail, to symbolize marriage.
Irish Wedding Dance -
There are many dances at an Irish
wedding, but one of the more notable is the "janting
char" where the groom is carried in a chair to present
him to the guests.
Irish Wedding
Party -The Wedding Celebration
includes the whole village or town and often last several
days.
Irish Ceremony
-Like many other cultures, bread plays
an important role in the Celtic ceremony. Bread is broken
over the couples head to ensure prosperity and the crumbs
are gathered by the single guests as a "good luck"
token - that they might find their ideal mate in the future.
The couple will leave the church in a different direction
for which they arrived, as a symbol of the new direction in
their lives. See
