The first marriage rituals were conducted by tribe leaders thousands of years ago.
Many of our traditions used today originated from these ceremonies.
Some traditions are: Wearing white The bachelor party The reception The honeymoon

The best man was the highest ranking military man of the tribe
The groomsmen were in charge of keeping rivaling tribes away from the chapel
The bachelor PARTY began
in Sparta around 850 BC
Men and women who were not
getting married often used
weddings as an excuse to get free drinks and dance
with strangers
