It's tradition, I guess, for some brides to marry on the month of June. I've done a research because I felt the need to do it to avoid making myself look stupid. Haha!
'The history of weddings celebrated during the month of June goes all the way back to early Roman times, well over two thousand years ago! The Romans celebrated a festival in honor of the deity Juno, wife of Jupiter and goddess of marriage and childbirth, on June first. June also followed May, the month of the “unhappy dead” for the Romans, so not an auspicious month to marry!...'
'...the father often is no longer the only one who walks the bride down the isle. It is more likely that both parents walk with the bride, or the bride walks by herself. The say, “something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue” attests to the human tendency to value continuity and new beginnings, unity and separation.'
Taken from The History of June Weddings
- June is still the most popular month to marry, followed by August, July, May, and September. The goddess Juno was the protector of women in all aspects of life, but especially in marriage and childbearing, so a wedding in Juno's month was considered most auspicious.
- The idea of June weddings also comes from the Celtic calendar. On the Cross-Quarter Day of Beltane, or May Day (May 1), young couples would pair off to court for 3 months and then be wed on the next Cross-Quarter Day (Lammas Day, August 1). Youths being impatient, the waiting period was shortened to mid-June, and the popularity of June weddings was ensured.
You've already got your answers and let's skip to the real reason why I've posted this. :D
Custom be damned it's not likely that all lucky and precious-heaven-dreaming ladies wants to be June brides and they have a couple of reason why so.
Duh. We're in a different time now and what's important is what we want and how we feel. Marriage shouldn't be compromised on a June-event because every girl who's dreaming to be picture-perfect-princesses can also be married in July. No offense and per se to custom lovers.
Anyway let's get to the point now of my post!
I made this post to show everyone about our event at Cebu Parklane International Hotel which was celebrated last July 12, 2013 to commemorate and celebrate its 7th year anniversary in the Cebu-hotel industry which was entitled Weddings at the Parklane 2013: A Bridal Fair in Shades of Gold.
Everyone were in black and gold and celebrated in unison the 7 years of the company's achievements and successful goals making everyone so proud.
It is indeed a 7 Years In The Making and 7 Years In The Winning Streak.
Ato 'ni, Bai!
Here are some of the pictures we took while making sure our bosses are busy swaying in their golden dresses and black ties.
Hope you like it!
