#39: Busy Brides
Within the tapestry of Amish wedding traditions, one of the most distinctive threads is the bride’s dress. It’s not a store-bought gown; instead, the bride herself meticulously sews it, following a specific rule: “Something old, something borrowed, something blue.” Interestingly, in the world of the Amish, nothing new finds its way into this cherished ensemble.
Its remarkable longevity and versatility set an Amish wedding dress apart from its conventional counterparts. Donned on the wedding day, this dress holds the promise of becoming the bride’s faithful Sunday attire for years to come. In a poignant twist, it also serves as her final garment, accompanying her on the journey to eternity.
