Placing of the veil

The mother of the bride may choose to place the veil on the Bride before the wedding ceremony to symbolize her last task that a Mother does on behalf of her girl before she becomes a married woman.

Transfer of the veil

A traditional folk song ("Twelve Angels") is sometimes played at the reception allowing the bride to transfer her veil (and good luck to be married) to her Maid of Honor, Bridesmaids, and Flower Girl.

Bread, wine, salt and a silver coin

The bride and groom each taste a piece of bread to signify: "MAY YOU NEVER GO HUNGRY" They each sip a little wine to signify: "ENJOY THE SWEETNESS IN LIFE" They each place a spec of salt on their tounge to signify: "MAY YOU OVERCOME THE BITTERNESS IN LIFE"

Silver Coin

They each hold the coin between their right hands together to signify: "MAY YOU BE WEALTHY WITH GOOD HEALTH AND NEVER BE IN A FINANCIAL STRESS"
