Traditionally, it is considered extremely good luck on your wedding day, or on the journey to the venue, for you to see a chimney sweep, and even greater good luck if you see the sweep’s brush emerging out of the top of a chimney. To this day, to see a chimney sweep and receive the ‘the kiss of luck’ after the wedding ceremony is supposed to bring good fortune to the newly married couple.
Ido Cyprus Wedding Planners can arrange for Dave, a genuine sweep, to attend the Church service or reception in full regalia bringing with him all the luck you need on your special day.
He appears while the much-loved song “Chim Chimeney, Chim Chimeney” is playing. He shakes hands with the groom and receives a kiss from the bride, much to the pleasant surprise of the wedding guests. A recital of the song lyrics follows then the sweep then wishes the bride and groom good luck for the future. The couple are presented with a framed copy of the poem and a miniature sack containing a piece of lucky coal, bread and salt. The guests are able to take photos of these delightful proceedings for treasured memories of this wonderful occasion.
