I am often asked about the wedding lasso."What exactly is it and when is it used?"
Growing up I thought everyone used the lasso. Its funny to grow up and find that your culture isn't the only one around. I love it though, that so many different cultures have been combined in some way or another.
So I simply say to those who ask...It's a sign or symbol of unity, such as the unity candle is. It's just one more step that we take to bind our love as one.
I have made traditional lassos, but these days with so many different cultures coming together, it is ok to have the lasso that symbolizes and represents both the bride and the groom. A simple cross or tassel can be used in place or our crucifix. The only thing that matters is that the lasso is meant to bring both the bride and groom together.
