Don't even tell that the wedding bouquet is based on pagan rituals.Well, I remember about ten years ago asking the question of whether two men in tuxes with one throwing a bouquet wouldn't make a bit of a mockery of the wedding ceremony, and the religious overtones, and I was told "that would never happen. No bishop would allow a priest to do that." Well...... LOL
It's only a word, and we quibbled over whether women should be able to omit the promise to "love honor and obey," to only love and honor. LOL
The ceremony doesn't include the throwing of the flowers.
The religious nature of marriage is between the couple and God. Everything else is for show and more about tradition and culture than the religious aspect.
