One French tradition is, on the day
of the wedding the bride will bath to wash away all
and any thoughts of past and previous loves.
It is tradition that the mother of the groom is escorted
down the aisle by the groom his self before the wedding,
but not before he picks up the bride and walks to the
chaple.
As the couple departs from the church, laurel leaves
are scattered outside the exit.
At the reception, the newlyweds toast using a special
two-handled cup that has been passed down through the
generations. The cup dual handled toasting glass is
called a Coupe de Marriage.
After the wedding reception, some of the friends of
the couple will "interrupt" their wedding-night
by banging pots and pans and singing loudly outside
their bedroom window.
The groom is then suppose to invite the pranksters in for refreshments. |
