Groom's Ceremony: The Glove Ceremony

Have you heard of the [Glove Ceremony]??

It can refer to "the bride's final preparations," where her mother or someone helps her put on gloves...

What we will introduce in this article is

a ceremony where the groom receives gloves from his parents as his final preparation.

What do the gloves held by the groom signify?

During the ceremony, the groom holds white gloves.

(He doesn't wear them; he just holds them!)

These gloves have various origins, such as:

- In the sacred space of the ceremony where swords cannot be held, the glove symbolizes the intention to protect the bride instead of holding a sword.

- It is a sign of holding something in place of a sword to indicate that there is no hostility.

- It has a meaning of warding off evil (similar to the meaning of the bride's veil).

Knowing that the groom holds the glove as a substitute for the sword to protect the bride makes it an item that cannot be taken lightly.

When you think of it as a symbol of his determination, even the classic shot of him holding such gloves begins to look even more beautiful.

It's often handed over by the father!

The groom's gloves signify his resolve to protect the bride.

The Glove Ceremony is about receiving these gloves from his parents.

There isn't a strict rule about whether they are handed over by the father or the mother,

but it seems that the father often hands them over with the wish of "Just as I have protected your mother, I hope you will protect your bride."

The mother hands them over with the sentiment of "Please take care of my precious daughter."

Furthermore, for the parents who do not participate in the Glove Ceremony, it is common to ask for the Jacket Ceremony, Chief Ceremony, or Boutonniere Ceremony.

This way, both the father and mother can take part in the "final preparations"!

A wonderful act featuring the groom and his parents ♡

The "Glove Ceremony," the final preparation from the groom's parents to him.

Along with the Jacket Ceremony, Chief Ceremony, or Boutonniere Ceremony, this seems to be one of the ceremonies that will likely become a standard.

I believe it will be a wonderful moment etched in the hearts of the groom and his parents, so definitely ask the groom or his parents, “There is a ceremony like this; would you consider it?”

I'm sure they will respond with, “Thank you for the wonderful suggestion” and be delighted! ♡
