Wedding Season\"\"<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

For most of us<\/span><\/em>, wedding season is an exciting and joyous time of year for us to celebrate and go to fancy parties. We go shopping and plan out exactly what to wear. If we\u2019re spending so much time on the wedding then we need to make sure that we\u2019re getting all of the appropriate coverages as well. <\/span><\/p>\n

An unfortunate accident can turn the best day of your life into a disaster in all but 30 seconds. <\/span><\/em>This is easily preventable by calling your insurance agency and going over the details. Depending on where you\u2019re having the wedding, if there\u2019s going to be alcohol at the wedding, the rules of your reception hall, and any additional coverages you may need to add for your own comfort and peace of mind. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you are having alcohol<\/span><\/em> at your wedding\/reception you will need a liquor liability policy. These are usually pretty cheap and only for the Big Day. This is more of a \u201cneed\u201d than a \u201cwant\u201d. You never know what will happen with alcohol and your guests. It\u2019s usually out of your control. This policy will protect you and usually your reception hall will require this anyway. <\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll want to schedule your rings<\/span><\/em> (or any other expensive wedding gifts or jewelry) onto your home policy to guarantee coverage for those high value items. Many people assume that all of their jewelry is covered no matter what, however, high value items require special coverage AND scheduling an item on your policy includes special perils so you\u2019ll be covered from a wider array of situations. Keep colored photos and appraisals on hand and be sure to submit them to your insurance company as well. According to Trusted Choice, 96% of stolen jewelry is never recovered. Don\u2019t take the chance of being the 4% that does recover the jewelry. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"WeddingWedding Traditions Explained:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0The origin of the \u201cFirst Look\u201d <\/span>concept started during the time of arranged marriages, where it was believed that if the bride and groom saw each other before the big day, they would have enough time to call off the wedding. <\/span><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0The origin of the Bridesmaids<\/span> are quite different from what they are today. They originally wore similar dresses as the bride and walked close by to confuse any exes or \u201cevil spirits\u201d that may have come for the bride. They would also serve as a protective shield while walking the bride to the groom\u2019s village in order to keep anyone from trying to hurt the bride or steal her dowry. <\/span><\/p>\n

3.\u00a0The Best Man <\/span>used to play quite a different role than they do presently. Way back when, the duty of the best man was to ensure that the runaway bride didn\u2019t escape from the wedding. When the bride\u2019s parents didn\u2019t approve of the union, the best man was asked to make sure the groom would be able to take his bride regardless of how her father felt. The term \u201cbest man\u201d came from this because they were usually the strongest and fastest in order to effectively do his job. <\/span><\/p>\n

4.\u00a0Up until about 1840, brides traditionally wore a red wedding dress<\/span>. It was Queen Victoria who went against the trend and wore white. The idea caught on, and now white is the traditional color for a wedding dress. <\/span><\/p>\n

5.\u00a0The origin of the honeymoon<\/span> is also much different than present day meaning. The honeymoon was used by the groom to hide his bride from her tribe for about a month so that they wouldn\u2019t know where to find her if any \u201crescue missions\u201d were planned. Similar to the idea of the best man and his duties during the ceremony. \u00a0This helped ensure that the groom could keep his bride and no escapes or kidnappings would occur. <\/span><\/p>\n
