58 Days

I saw this tradition on Martha Stewart Weddings when I was newly engaged, and this tradition has stuck with me all of this time later. Want to know what tradition has left such an imprint on my sole (Ok... bad pun!)

Sole Signing!

source

This is an old Turkish tradition to find out who will mary next. Before you start down the aisle you are supposed to have your single bridesmaids (or any female friends or relatives who've yet to marry) sign the sole of your bridal shoe. After you've danced the night away (and tossed your bouquet), legend has it that the person whose name has faded the most will be the next to marry. 


I think I will only have my bridesmaids sign my sole, since I will be the first of us to get married! I'm excited to do this on my wedding day, and I hope to start this as a tradition among our friends (even though I won't be able to partake since I will already be married!).

Will you be using this or any other similar "who gets married next" tradition?
