The bouquet tossing custom started when the bride used to throw her left shoe over her shoulder to indicate her new status and departure from her old life into the new, the one who caught the shoe would be next to marry! It was replaced by the bouquet to stop the bride from walking barefooted for the rest of the day.
Religious Ceremonies can only be conducted in a place which has been formally registered by the Registrar General for marriages by a person who is registered to conduct weddings. If couples want to marry in a Church they are required to give public notice that they intend to be married.
