Wedding releases are becoming popular traditions during wedding ceremonies all over the world. A wedding release, where a pair of white doves is released from a cage, is not just mere ceremonial event. There is actually a lot of symbolism that is behind this meaningful activity.
Wedding releases use two doves symbolizing the bride and groom as a couple. The colors of the doves have a special meaning too. Pure white doves symbolizes that the couple should begin their journey together without pain and regrets from their past.
As soon as the pair of doves is released, they are starting a whole new journey together. As a newly wed couple, each person is entering a whole new world. This is yet another brand new journey for both of them. But this time, they will no longer act as an individual, but as husband and wife.
Do you ever wonder where the doves go after they are released? Doves are notable for their sense of direction, no matter where you take them, they will always know their way back home. Just like a couple's life, no matter where they go and no matter how big their difficulties in life may be, they will always long for the comfort of their own home. And if they stray away from each other, love will always bring them back home.
