TRIVIA TODAY - Monday, May 24, 2010
Greetings Infomaniacs,
This upcoming Saturday I am standing up in the wedding of
one of my close friends. I wasn't sure if I would be able to
be there because I had surgery scheduled, but that has been
postponed so now I have a lot to do. I'm off to the seamstress
tonight for alterations, thank goodness she can do them at the
last minute! I am really excited that I can attend the wedding,
and in honor of the approaching big day, here is a little
wedding trivia for you...
Enjoy!

RANDOM TIDBITS
Early Roman brides carried a bunch of herbs, such as garlic
and rosemary, under their veils to symbolize fidelity and
fertility and to ward off evil. These herbs served as a
precursor to the modern bridal bouquet.
***
In many cultures, the groom historically often kidnapped
the bride, and the groom?s friends would help him, leading
to the modern-day groomsmen. At the alter, the groom always
stood on the bride?s right side so his right hand?or his
sword hand?would be free to fight/defend a jealous rival.
***
A bride is traditionally carried over the threshold either
to symbolize her reluctance to leave her father?s home or
because evil spirits hovered over the threshold of a house?
so she was lifted over the entrance to protect her from the
spirits.

***********************************************************
?Three times a bridesmaid, never a bride? dates to about
the sixteenth century. It was believed that if a young
maiden who had been a bridesmaid three times was unable to
catch the eye of unmarried males, then she never would. But,
if she served seven times as a bridesmaid, the spell was
broken and the woman was thought to be a sure bet for
marriage.
***
The Old English word for the wedding cereomony was bridelope,
which literally met ?bridal run.? The word ?wed? derives
from the Proto-IndoEuropean base wadh, meaning to pledge or
redeem.
***
Before the 1500s, couples in Europe were free to marry
themselves. It wasn?t until 1564 when the Council of Trent
declared marriage was a sacrament that weddings became the
province of priests and churches.
