In Reply to: Wedding traditions posted by Barbara on February 21, 1998 at 18:10:53: I'm looking for this same info, but this is what I have found so far: the brides carry scented herbs in thier bouquets to ward off evil trolls, the grooms wear thyme in thier coursage, the grooms wore frilly white shirts that they won't wear again until thier funeral, the bride wears a gold coin in the right shoe and a silver coin in the left to ensure prosperity, well actually, to insure that they won't be without money. And, all during the ceremony, the brides wear thier laces untied and then wear the same shoes in thier bridal bed. If the shoes fall off in the night, she will have easy births. (The babies come out as easily as the shoes come off.) Please let me know if you find out any more traditions... (andi62@juno.com) |
