Certain traditions, like the Celtic Scottish wedding, have its roots in pagan rituals. Pealing wedding bells proclaims the divinity of the marriage accord between the newly wedded couple. According to the ancient Egyptian tradition, while worshipping god Osiris, small wedding bells in the form of flat gongs were used in wedding ceremonies. Whereas in Christian churches, bells came to be used in the year 400 A.D. and were first introduced by Paulinus, bishop of Nola, near the town of Campania, in Italy. These bells became quite popular, as in those times the church-bell was useful not only for summoning the religious services, but also for giving an alarm in times of danger. But it was only in 604 A.D, that Pope Sabinian officially sanctioned the use of bells for wedding ceremonies to bless the newly wedded couples. Very large bells, usually used for church towers, were probably not common until the eleventh century.
