July July is the seventh month of the year in the Gregorian Calendar and one of seven Gregorian months with the length of 31 days. July was renamed for Julius Caesar, who was born in that month. Previously, it was called Quintilis in Latin, since it was the fifth month in the ancient Roman calendar, before January became the first month of the calendar year (the year when displayed as twelve months in order) during the time of the decemvirs about 450 BC. In the ancient Roman calendar the ides of July fell on the 15th day of the month. July starts on the same day of the week as April every year, and January in leap years.
Those who in July do wed must labour for their daily bread.

Wedding History Since grooms in early Anglo-Saxon England often had to defend their brides during the wedding
ceremony, the lady would stand to the left of her future husband so that his sword arm would be free.
It was also customary for the groom to hold onto his bride with the left hand. Thus, by association,
the bride's family and guests sit on the left side of the church. 'A part of you has grown in me. And so you see, it's you and me together forever and never apart, maybe in distance, but never in heart. - Anon'

Wedding Traditions Associated with today's Hope Chest, it was once a tradition for the groom's family to pay a price to the bride's family for the woman. In return, the bride's family would provide a dowry of various items for the new home. As a bride planned for her future marriage, she would supplement this dowry with her own items that she had either collected or made. All items would be kept in a special Hope Chest built by the bride's father for the purpose of housing the dowry. The dowry is also sometimes referred to as the bride's 'trousseau,' which comes from the French meaning 'bundle.' The trousseau originated as a bundle of clothing and possessions which the bride carried to her new home and which included all of the new items for the household, as well as for the bride herself.

Wedding History The original definition of 'Wedding'. Marriage by purchase was once a preferred custom. Quite often, the bride would be exchanged for land, political alliance and/or currency. In fact, the Anglo-Saxon word 'wedd' meant that the groom would vow to marry the bride and that the bartered goods and/or currency would go directly to the bride's father. The word 'wedding' itself comes from the root term meaning 'gamble' or 'wager.' Thus, the ceremony of a wedding was truly little more than the purchase of a bride for breeding purposes.
