    I found that really interesting reading :T

    I am getting married on a Wednesday which is great, but in May, so I guess they cancel each other out right? :rotfl:

    Fascinating reading...I particularly like "the groom to tap the bride on the forehead with one of the shoes to assert his dominance." LOL I don't think I'll be letting him do that...

  • there's also an old irish custom - put the Child of prague out the night before the wedding to ensure it won't rain........or along those lines:confused:

    Have decided I'd quite like these printed out as little 'wedding trivia' in with my favour bags, so have copied and pasted them using a nice font and we're ready to print onto some posh ivory card! I've added some more which I found on the net - so 50 in total! Then I'll just chop them up into little card size and off we go!

    Oh, If anyone would like a copy just pm me and I'll email them to you.
