The tradition of
having both bridesmaids and ushers present during a ceremony derives
from the Roman law that mandated there be ten witnesses present at
the ceremony for the purpose of fooling the evil spirits who were
believed to cause mischief. The bridesmaids and groomsmen would be
dressed in clothing matching identical to the bride and groom, thus
keeping the evil spirits from figuring out who was actually getting married.
