I once had a male friend express his concern for his wedding day over having to carry his future bride across the threshold. He thought that even though he doesn't know who this woman will be, that he would struggle to do it. Let's take a quick peek at how this tradition came about.
In the middle ages, it was improper for the bride to show any desire to consummate her marriage, so she had to be carried in. Then came the idea that carrying the bride through the threshold would keep away evil spirits. Currently it is only practiced as a romantic gesture.
Is your future hubby planning to carry you across the threshold? Or does he need to hit the gym first?
