SEAL IT WITH A KISS

SIGILLARE CON UN BACIO   ROMAN STYLE

The marriage, like the engagement before it, would then be formally and legally sealed with a kiss – this is the origin of the modern ceremony in Italian wedding traditions, which always invites the groom to kiss his new wife.

The final formal act of the ceremony was the couple ‘breaking bread’ together. Although this is sometimes described as ‘cake’, it was actually unleavened bread which the couple would feed to each other to symbolise their commitment to the relationship.

And here is the origin of the modern Italian culture and customs of the bride and groom feeding each other wedding cake and champagne.

Italy, and Rome in particular, is the place for romance, a word whose etymology goes back toRomance language” (one developed from Latin instead of Frankish), and from the Latin term Romanicus “or in the Roman style,” from Romanus”Roman”.

Also, how many people are aware that Roma written in the reverse order is Amor?
