Wedding custom around the world (3)

Belgium:The bride may still embroider her name on her handkerchief, carry it on the wedding day, then frame it and keep it until the next family bride marries.

Bermuda:Islanders top their tiered wedding cakes with a tiny sapling. The newlyweds plant the tree at their home, where they can watch it grow, as their marriage grows.

Bohemia:The groom gives the bride a rosary, a prayer book, a girdle with three keys(to guard her virtue), a fur cap, and a silver wedding ring. The bride gives the groom a shirt sewn with gold thread blended with colored silks and a wedding ring. Before the ceremony, the grooms-man wraps the groom in the bride’s cloak to keep evil spirits from creeping in and dividing their two hearts.
