Other Celtic Scottish rituals performed on the wedding night was the sprinkling of water onto the bed which was considered to bring good luck.
Inhabitants of Germany and France uphold similar traditions where their disturbances on the wedding night are called Chiverie (the US spell it Shivaree). They also cause havoc by decorating the bridal suite with balloons, or laying food all over the bed just for fun. A love in surrounded by crumbs is not very romantic. They say when in Rome do as the Romans do but whatever you do don't fall, as it is seen as bad luck if the bride takes a tumble on entering the newlyweds first home. After the roman wedding, all male friends of the married couple would carry the bride over the threshold. But times have changed where the groom has the pleasure, in saying that; he may need to ask for assistance if his bride is the size of Bessie Bunter. In western Africa, (Benin), virginity is valued highly. The brides mother compensates her with money if still untouched by man on her wedding night! The sheets are checked for blood smears the morning after the wedding night, and were sometimes flown like flags from the window to show that the daughter never gave into temptation by submitting her body to any other. A Chinese wedding night consists of beautifully designed candles shaped like a phoenix and dragon to force away evil spirits. Wine is drunk from goblets tied together with a scarlet red sash while at the same time the newlyweds have their arms intertwined. It is now when the bride is handed half-raw dumplings which denotes prosperity. In Polynesia the brides are expected to have sex with all of the male guests. Depending on the number of male guests, this could go on for quite some time, but at the end of the day, it is the groom who gets to sleep with her for the rest of his life. |
