“Walking down the aisle”, is an amazing journey of love and adventure. That is the reason why many couples choose to stand upon a Wedding Rug that will stay with them throughout a lifetime.
When a bride and groom take their first step upon the aisle runner, or Wedding Rug, they step upon a new and exciting journey into their future. As the couple stands upon the Wedding Rug and recites their vows together while joining hands, they recite a promise to weave their separate lives together. A Wedding Rug becomes a stunning daily reminder after the ceremony, of the promises they have vowed to keep.
The beginnings of a wedding aisle and a wedding aisle runner can be traced back to ancient days when roads were unpaved. The bridegroom and bride along with their guests would arrive at the church with soiled feet. The wedding aisle runner was used to protect the bride’s hem of her dress. Of course, today outdoor trail dust is no longer a factor, but many couples love the tradition of an aisle covering to create a "regal" feeling as the step upon a path to join their lives together.
Vows mean forever, and a hand knotted, oriental area rug, will last just as long.
