Native American Traditions
The traditional colors woven into the bride's dress point to the four corners of the earth, White for east, Blue for south, Yellow for west and Black for north.
The bride and groom wash their hands to symbolically rid themselves of evil and loves from their past. During the ceremony, the couple will share a meal of corn mush, made of both white and yellow corn. The white represents male and yellow female, joined together, symbolizing their bonding.
