Great news folks! I just received my latest copy of Learn a Month Magazine
and this issue features various customs and traditions for weddings around
the world. So if any of you are planning a wedding, here are a few tips.
In England it is good luck to find a spider in the bride's wedding dress. (
Sure hope Gomer never marries Malcolm Merriweather,s sister.)
Ancient Romans studied pig entrails to determine the luckiest time to marry.
( I think the entrails were then served to wedding guests.)
For good luck, Egyptian women pinch the bride on her wedding day ( They
picked up this custom from Ernest T. Bass )
Peas are thrown at Czech newlyweds instead of rice. ( But it is considered
bad manners take a pea in front of the newlyweds. )
One of history's earliest engagement rings was given to Princess Mary,
daughter of Henry VIII. She was two years old at the time. ( They got that
idea from the Darlings.}
In Denmark, brides and grooms traditionally cross-dressed to confuse evil
spirits. ( This could be a bit confusing on the honeymoon as well.)
Moroccan women take a milk bath to purify themselves before their wedding
ceremony. ( You don't have it pasteurized - just up to your. neck.)
So there you have it folks, some more great information to store away to
use when you next plan a wedding and all because I spend a quarter on that
great "Learn a Month Magazine."
