Weddings are ceremonies steeped in tradition. When it comes to planning a wedding, many couples choose to incorporate customs into their religious ceremony. This symbolic ritual is believed to have originated from the Aztecs dating back to the 14th or 15th century.
The “lassoing” act is a symbol of unifying the couple together in marriage for their entire lives. This custom is similar to the lighting of a unity candle. The figure eight also represents the mathematical symbol for infinity–no beginning and no end. The number eight in the Bible is also the number of new beginnings. The use of rosary beads in this ritual is also significant; using a rosary reflects that the bride and groom are forever bound together in unity by God.
Even couples of non-Mexican, Filipino, or Spanish descent are choosing to include this symbolic practice in their weddings. Why? You'll often hear brides say they want “something different” for their wedding, something buying that's “unique and meaningful”. Whether it's a tradition that's been handed down from generations in your family, or a newly adopted tradition from another culture, it's these special touches that make your wedding distinctive and expressive. The lassoing part of your ceremony will definitely pique your guests' interest, especially if they're not familiar with this tradition.
The wedding lasso rosary isn't just for your wedding day; it's a memento that'll live on long after your day is over. Imagine future generations using your wedding lasso for their wedding ceremony.
