Вы когда-нибудь задумывались, откуда пошла традиция "подружек невесты и свидетелей жениха" и почему их наряды практически не отличаются от одежды жениха и невесты?

Эта традиция сохранилась с Древних времен. Римский закон требовал, чтобы десять свидетелей присутствовали на свадебной церемонии. Некоторые из этих свидетелей наряжались как жених и невеста и тем самым путали злых духов, которые могли навредить молодым. В Средние века Европейцы также следовали этой традиции, но более поздние "подружки невесты и свидетели жениха" защищали счастливую пару уже от реальных разбойников.
