Wedding Terms and Definitions

Planning a wedding means learning a new language. Sure, it's easier than picking up Japanese, but there's still an awful lot to learn! Figuring out what all the new words mean can take a while, and while a lot of what you hear will likely be familiar to you, there will definitely be words that make you scratch your head.

Have you, for example, ever heard of these wedding terms and definitions I found at Smart Wedding Planning?

Snood: A snood is an knitted net the bride may wear at the back of her head to enclose her hair.

Imam Zamin: This is a good luck tradition after a Moslem wedding where the mother of the bride ties a coin that is wrapped in silk around her daughter's arm.

Euro Tie: Often worn with a spread collar, this is a long tie that is more formal than a regular necktie, but less so than an ascot.

Biedermeier: A type of posy where the flowers are arranged in rings according to their color.

Wow, confusing right? Don't worry -- you'll get used to the wedding jargon pretty quickly! You can find even more wedding terms and definitions at the preceding link.
