I just read a post from a Tribe member on OffbeatBride.com in which she asked "What does the wedding party actually do?"
A commenter responded....
"The bridesmaids are supposed to confuse your would-be kidnappers on the way to the wedding. The groomsmen are supposed help your man if he has to kidnap you and fight his way out. :-)" [via The Bizarre Origins of Eight Wedding Traditions]Yessssss!

Beware...I have actually been to a wedding where the bride was kidnapped!
ReplyDelete(It's a Czech tradition for friends of the groom to steal the bride from the reception and take her to a bar and drink heavily until the groom finds them. Then the groom has to pay the bill.)
Eek!
ReplyDeleteI love the Czech. My kind of groomsmen.
