“六月新娘”背后有什么巨大陰謀？

“六月新娘”背后有什么巨大陰謀？

片中的這對(duì)好朋友Emma和Liv都爭(zhēng)相成為“六月新娘”，因?yàn)樵谖鞣轿幕校貋?lái)就有“六月新娘”最幸福的說(shuō)法。然而事實(shí)真的是這樣的嗎？

原來(lái)六月（June）出于朱諾神（Juno）也就是希臘神話中的宙斯的尊號(hào)，他是古羅馬人的婚姻神，人們認(rèn)為在六月結(jié)婚自然能夠受到神祝福。而另一方面的原因就比較殘酷，在當(dāng)時(shí)以農(nóng)業(yè)為基礎(chǔ)的社會(huì)，六月結(jié)婚的婦女倘若順利懷孕，到了收割季節(jié)也不會(huì)挺個(gè)太大的肚子，可以幫忙農(nóng)活；而孩子生下來(lái)之后，女性則又恢復(fù)到正常體態(tài)，正好又成為下一輪的收割勞動(dòng)力！

聽(tīng)上去是不是覺(jué)得特陰暗？當(dāng)然現(xiàn)代女性挺著大肚子進(jìn)出辦公樓的也多得是，所以要在幾月結(jié)婚一切隨你啦！

The Romans favored June weddings because that was the month dedicated to the observance of Juno, the Roman goddess of marriage. There was a practical side to June weddings as well, and practicality also shows up quite a bit in rituals and traditions. A marriage in June could result in a conception early enough so that a wife wouldn't be too full with child to not be able to help out during the harvest. A June wedding also meant that the baby would be born soon enough so that the recovered bride would be in shape for the next harvest pending no unexpected second bundle.

伴娘和女儐相的差別是什么？

伴娘和女儐相的差別是什么？

Emma最終成為L(zhǎng)iv的伴娘。我們會(huì)在美國(guó)的影視劇里看到新娘背后往往不止一個(gè)伴娘或者女儐相，其中又有什么差別呢？

原來(lái)在美國(guó)一個(gè)新娘可以請(qǐng)幾個(gè)女性成為自己的女儐相，但其中只有一個(gè)首領(lǐng)的才是伴娘。伴娘可以是新娘的姐妹、閨蜜，關(guān)系特別親密的母親，或者男方的姐妹，或者要好的表姐妹、阿姨等等。女儐相只是在婚禮上站站，而伴娘卻要在婚禮的籌備舉行過(guò)程中扮演著重要的角色，其職責(zé)包括確定婚禮場(chǎng)合、婚禮菜單、幫忙寫并投遞請(qǐng)柬、新娘服飾的挑選、婚禮現(xiàn)場(chǎng)的布置、單身派對(duì)的安排等等……

感覺(jué)伴娘比新娘更辛苦呢！所以一定要選一個(gè)特別親的女性朋友哦！

The maid of honor is the head, chief, or main personal attendant (or bridesmaid) of a bride for her wedding. Generally speaking, a bride will select her sister (if they are close) or her best friend as her maid of honor. Other choices include her mother (if they are close), the sister of the groom, or a favorite cousin or aunt. Some of the maid of honor's typical duties with respect to wedding planning include helping the bride decide on locations for the ceremony and reception and making sure the venue is booked, choosing invitations and helping to address, stamp, and mail them out, selecting and ordering wedding decorations and favors, and then helping to decorate the venue(s) a few days before the wedding as well as helping to assemble or create the favors for each guest at the wedding.

“單身派對(duì)”是怎么回事兒？

“新娘單身派對(duì)”是怎么回事兒？

Emma攪渾了Liv的單身派對(duì)，跑到舞臺(tái)上大跳熱舞，讓本來(lái)應(yīng)該是派隊(duì)主角的Liv顏面盡失。這一段大家都看得大跌眼鏡，怎么美國(guó)人的新娘婚前派對(duì)這么瘋狂？

其實(shí)新娘單身派對(duì)是從新郎的單身漢派對(duì)演變而來(lái)，后者是為新郎舉辦，請(qǐng)來(lái)的朋友都是男士，娛樂(lè)項(xiàng)目包括喝酒啦請(qǐng)脫衣舞女郎前來(lái)表演之類，因?yàn)槭遣饺牖橐鰤災(zāi)怪白詈蟮目駳g，所以自然會(huì)玩得很放肆。新娘單身派對(duì)也不例外，只是往往基于一頓晚餐的基礎(chǔ)之上，但越來(lái)越獨(dú)立自主強(qiáng)調(diào)男女平等的現(xiàn)代女性也想要享受和男士一樣的待遇，因而我們也會(huì)在《老友記》里頭看到莫妮卡的單身派對(duì)上請(qǐng)來(lái)了脫衣舞男這樣的情節(jié)了~~

其實(shí)婚前與同性好友的小聚真的是比較溫馨，不過(guò)人家的模式咱不用完全照搬哈。

A bachelorette party is a party held for a woman who is about to be married. It is modeled after the bachelor party, which is itself historically a dinner given by the bridegroom to his friends shortly before his wedding. Since it is derived from a formal dinner, a bachelorette party is properly held in the evening, usually about a week (or at least a few days) before the wedding, and usually includes dinner, although alternative approaches are not uncommon. Many different kinds of entertainment are selected, depending on what the organizers think will best please their guest of honor. While notions of a bachelorette party as a night of drunken debauchery persist in some social circles, it is now becoming widely seen in America as an opportunity for female bonding.

什么是“藍(lán)色的東西，借來(lái)的東西”？

什么是“藍(lán)色的東西，借來(lái)的東西”？

片中一支藍(lán)色的發(fā)夾穿插首尾，我們也聽(tīng)到他們說(shuō)道婚禮上需要“something old, something blue, something borrowed”，這到底是什么意思呢？

其實(shí)完整的說(shuō)法是“舊東西，新東西，借來(lái)的東西，藍(lán)色的東西，鞋里還要放個(gè)銀幣”，這是西方傳統(tǒng)婚禮的習(xí)俗，認(rèn)為新娘在婚禮中身上帶著這些東西就會(huì)擁有好運(yùn)，“舊東西”象征在娘家的過(guò)去，“新東西”則是婚后的新生活，“借來(lái)的東西”最好要從婚姻幸福的親朋好友那里援助，傳代一些好運(yùn)給新嫁娘。而藍(lán)色自古都是純潔真摯愛(ài)情的象征，19世紀(jì)之前新娘的婚紗都是藍(lán)色的，因?yàn)椤按┧{(lán)色結(jié)婚，愛(ài)人純又真”。最后在新娘鞋里的銀制六便士則代表著附有和經(jīng)濟(jì)的保障。

非常美好的愿望和祈福，尤其是最后那個(gè)六便士在當(dāng)今的經(jīng)濟(jì)大環(huán)境下更加有必要哦~~

The next line of this old saying actually hints at its origin. The complete phrase is:

??? Something old, something new
??? Something borrowed, something blue
??? And a silver sixpence in her shoe.

Each item in this poem represents a good-luck token for the bride. If she carries all of them on her wedding day, her marriage will be happy. "Something old" symbolizes continuity with the bride's family and the past. "Something new" means optimism and hope for the bride's new life ahead. "Something borrowed" is usually an item from a happily married friend or family member, whose good fortune in marriage is supposed to carry over to the new bride. The borrowed item also reminds the bride that she can depend on her friends and family. And blue has been connected to weddings for centuries. Before the late 19th century, blue was a popular color for wedding gowns, as evidenced in proverbs like, "Marry in blue, lover be true." And finally, a silver sixpence in the bride's shoe represents wealth and financial security.

為什么婚禮上要撒大米？

為什么婚禮上要撒大米？

還是孩提時(shí)代的兩位女主角常過(guò)家家玩婚禮游戲，其中就有一個(gè)撒米粒的小橋段?？赡艽蠹乙矔?huì)注意到婚禮之后賓客會(huì)向新人撒米粒，這是為什么？

這一習(xí)俗同樣是從羅馬時(shí)代沿襲至今，人們會(huì)在婚禮上撒谷物，多數(shù)情況下會(huì)撒麥子。一種比較大眾的觀點(diǎn)認(rèn)為谷物是富饒豐收的象征，表達(dá)了賓客對(duì)于新人婚后生活的祝福。此外，也有認(rèn)為谷物是夫妻結(jié)婚后共進(jìn)的食物，有祝其成為糟糠夫妻、白頭偕老之意。也有的認(rèn)為撒谷物是為了辟邪，喂飽那些在婚禮上游蕩的惡靈，讓它們搶食谷物，從而避免新人受到傷害。

總之都是對(duì)新人很好的祝福，而且世界日漸全球化之后，麥子也逐漸被大米替代了哦~~~

Since early Roman times some grain - usually wheat - has been associated with the wedding ceremony. The basis for the predominant theory as to why rice and other grains, such as wheat, have played a prominent role in marriage ceremonies for centuries, is that they are fraught with symbolism of fertility and of prosperity. By throwing rice at the bride and groom at a wedding, guests symbolically wish them a lifetime full of these blessings. Historically, in certain primitive tribal cultures, the mere act of supping on rice together bound a couple in matrimony, as eating this local food together implied their living together. In other cultures, the symbolic eating of rice together preceded a shower of rice over the married couple. Perhaps the most curious use of rice in the wedding ceremony, was its use in some cultures not to unite the happy couple, but to feed the uninvited evil spirits who always attended the ceremony. The rationale behind this practice was to ward off evil, as well-fed evil spirits would bring no harm to the blissful couple.

拋擲新娘捧花的習(xí)俗從何而來(lái)？

拋擲新娘捧花的習(xí)俗從何而來(lái)？

瞧這倆女生搶捧花的表情！這個(gè)情節(jié)我們都很熟悉，現(xiàn)在也漸漸在我們這里流行起來(lái)了，據(jù)說(shuō)搶到捧花的單生女子下一個(gè)就輪到她結(jié)婚。但這個(gè)習(xí)俗的來(lái)歷是什么？

在中世紀(jì)的歐洲，新娘的婚紗當(dāng)然是不指望再穿第二次的，但它對(duì)于別的女子來(lái)說(shuō)，又是好運(yùn)的象征。因而在婚禮之后，單身女子們就會(huì)滿世界追著新娘跑，扯她身上的婚紗下來(lái)。漸漸地婚紗越來(lái)越昂貴，保存自己的婚紗成為新的傳統(tǒng)，更有母親將自己的婚紗傳給女兒。為了不讓爭(zhēng)搶婚紗的尷尬場(chǎng)面出現(xiàn)呢，新娘只好主動(dòng)扔些身上別的東西出去，最經(jīng)典的就是吊襪帶了。再后來(lái)新娘捧花就成為了最為常用的拋擲物，反正花么，怎么著過(guò)兩天也都謝了，想要就拿去唄。

原來(lái)最初的婚禮習(xí)俗這么俗的……很難想像新娘后面一群結(jié)婚狂的猛追啊~~

In medieval Europe, a bride typically did not expect to wear her wedding dress again, and the dress was considered good luck for other women, a type of fertility charm. After the wedding, single women chased the bride and ripped pieces off her dress, leaving her in tatters. Over the years, wedding dresses became more expensive and it became traditional for women to keep them, either as a memento or to pass on to a daughter for her wedding day. To prevent guests from ripping the wedding dress, brides began throwing other objects as a distraction, one of which was the garter. Later, the bouquet became the most traditionally thrown object. The wedding bouquet is particularly suited to this use, as flowers symbolize fertility, and as perishable items, they are not something the bride would wish to keep.
