Wedding traditions BE PREPARED:A touch of tradition helps make your wedding day something special.

THERE are so many factors included in weddings today that have historic meaning that we don’t often think about when making the decision to include them. The Brides veil, the garter toss, a white gown and the wedding bouquet are among the most common traditions and you probably wouldn’t even think twice about including some or all of these in your wedding.

Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue. We’ve all heard this rhyme thrown around when the wedding topic pops up, but do you know what each of these items traditionally represents? Something old is said to rep-

resent the history and past of the Bride’s family and is often reflected in jewellery or something that forms part of the Brides attire on the day. Something new signifies the future for the Bride and her Groom and is believed to promote good fortune. The wedding gown or a piece of jewellery is often selected to fulfil this part of the tradition. Something borrowed is usually a symbolic item to ‘borrow’ happiness, this item is often provided by friends or family. Last but not least, something blue. The Something Blue aspect represents love and purity and is often incorporated in the Brides outfit or Garter.

King Valley Wedding Trail

Get in step for your big day YOU and your beloved are looking forward to celebrating at your reception for your first time as a married couple, but there’s only one concern – your respective dance skills.

Thankfully, this is a small concern that can easily be addressed with a call to Anthony Pepers from Enjoy Dance.

Mr Pepers, who has many years of experience in dance and dance instruction, has worked with dancers of all abilities and prides himself on being able to help couples make a lasting impression while feeling comfortable and having fun on the dance floor for their first dance as husband and wife.

Anthony can provide private lessons for prospective brides and grooms, or help whole wedding parties get into step with group private tuition or scheduled classes.

Mr Pepers said he is happy to work with couples on every aspect, from simply

improving their ballroom dancing abilities, to choreographing and teaching the more elaborate first dance routines that have come into vogue in the past few years.

Anthony added that he also takes into account the size limitations and layout of the dance floor/venue to ensure that couples are able to showcase their routine to the best of their ability on their wedding day, and is happy to suggest wedding songs himself or work with something that the bride and groom have provided.

“I want to create the perfect dance on the perfect day,” he said.

For more information, contact Enjoy Dance on 0418 989 474 or see Enjoy Dance on Facebook.

STEP IN TIME: Local couple Kristy and Colin Steiner are among those who have benefited from lessons with Enjoy Dance.
