How To Use An Irish Wedding Bell
Mark | October 13, 2008
A very popular Irish wedding tradition is the wedding bell. During the ceremony, the bell is blessed, and the couple encouraged to give it a “good ring” while celebrating of their new union, its future, and the joy and happiness of the moment. We like the special touch of the Irish couple joining hands and ringing the bell together. Wedding bells make great Irish wedding gifts!
The bell from your ceremony should then be kept within easy reach in your home. It is a great reminder of your Irish wedding day and serves a practical purpose as well. Should an argument arise, one party should take the opportunity to ring the bell - thus signaling a truce. Both parties should then take a quick moment to think back to their wedding day, the joy that they experienced, and the reasons that you both decided to join in marriage. More often than not, arguments are not about important things, and taking a moment to consider the “bigger picture” can show what a futile effort they are!
We’d encourage you to continue this wonderful tradition. We have a Belleek Irish Wedding Bell and a Mullingar Pewter Irish Wedding Bell in our store. Both are made in ireland. Either one would be perfect for your Irish wedding day!
