                    TODAY’S MYSTERY QUOTE

QUOTE: “A happy marriage is a long conversation that always
seems too short.”

HINT: (1885-1967), French author and man of letters.

                        RANDOM TIDBITS

The tradition for the bride to wear white began in the 16th
century and is still commonly followed today. This is a
symbol of the bride’s purity and her worthiness of her
groom. The tradition became solidified during the time of
Queen Victoria who rebelled against the royal tradition for
Royal brides to wear silver. Instead, the queen preferred
the symbolism which is expressed by wearing white. The brides
of the time quickly emulated the queen, and the tradition
has continued in full force to this day.

                             ***

It was thought that misfortune would come to those who
married during lent – “Marry in Lent, live to repent” -
because lent was a time for abstinence.

                             ***

For centuries the month of June has been the most popular
choice for weddings – but the original reason might surprise
you. You see, during the 1400 -1500s, May was the month in
which the “annual bath” occurred. Yes, just as it sounds,
back then people were only able to bathe thoroughly once
each year. As such, since the over-all population was
smelling relatively fresh in June, it was a good time to
hold a special event like a wedding!

Bad weather on the way to the wedding is believed to
signify unhappiness in the marriage. Traditionally it is
believed that cloudy skies and wind en route to the wedding
will result in a stormy marriage. However, snow on the way
to the wedding is a sign of fertility and prosperity!

                             ***

There is an old saying that “the bride wore a green gown”.
This implies the belief that she was promiscuous before
marriage and refers to the image of her rolling around in
grassy fields with a young man.

                             ***

Traditionally brides have been thought to be particularly
vulnerable to evil spirits. Many wedding customs and
traditions were originated as an attempt to fight away such
evil. The veil was worn with the belief that it would
disguise the bride and fool the evil spirits. It was not
until 1800 in Britain that the veil came to symbolize
modesty and chastity. Today, the veil remains the ultimate
symbol of virginity.
