The Genealogy Show – Irish Wedding Traditions

Posted on by

Happy New Year for 2023; we are looking at Irish Wedding Traditions today; ever wondered where we got the expression, his goose is cooked, that indicated that all the contracts had been signed and there would be no turning back from the wedding ceremony. The contracts and logistics were all signed between the family parties. All customs around The Child of Prague, Lucky handkerchiefs, ringing of bells, horseshoes, wedding cakes, rings,coins and customs are all explored to reveal the world of our ancestors in Ireland.
