Altar-ing Our Traditions

Brits no longer consider wedding traditions important to follow, new research has revealed.

While years ago it would be unimaginable not to ask the bride’s father for permission, research shows 58% of men no longer think they should do so.

The study, conducted by jewellery retailer F.Hinds, unveiled a ‘revamp’ of wedding traditions, with more and more people introducing their own.

It appears more and more brides are shunning the idea of not giving a speech at their wedding, with 15% of brides giving speeches and a further 10% of grooms choosing a ‘best woman’.
