Tying The Knot: A History of Wedding Traditions
North Lincoln County Historical Museum
Admission: Free

The wedding is one of life's primeval and surprisingly unchanged rites of passage. Nearly all of the customs we observe today are merely echoes of the past. Everything from the veil, rice, flowers, and old shoes, to the bridesmaids and processionals, at one time, bore a very specific and vitally significant meaning. Today, although the original substance is often lost, we incorporate old world customs into our weddings because they are traditional and ritualistic. Tying the Knot, A History of Wedding Traditions is the title of a new exhibit in the upstairs exhibit gallery of the Museum. The exhibit explores the history behind today’s wedding customs as well as how they have evolved in modern times. The display features wedding photos from the early 1900s to the late 1960s that illustrate the change in wedding attire over time.
