In an old church in Gothland, in
Sweden, a pile of lances is fitted to
hold a torch, and it is said the
weapons were used at one time to
give light aud protection to marriage
parties on the way to church, the
ceremony taking place at night, as
precaution against the bride being
taken away by some I.ochinvar who
claimed better right to her than
the duly recognized suitor. A recent
writer, describing marriage in
Khurdistan, says he saw young
man carrying ofhis bride, surround
ed by body guard of some twenty
or thirty men, These men were
supposed to be protecting the happy
couple from party Of young women,
who hurled pieces Of earth and tam
boos at the procession, and made
show of rescuing the bride. As s'm ,
however, us the bridegroom reached
his own village with his charge the
ASSISTANTS ran home screaming and
laughing, Among ourselves the
term "best man" is said to be, sur
vival of the time when the bride
groom had to get strong hands to
aid him in securing the object of his
affections. There is probably also a
survival of the assaults that were
then made on marriage parties in
the showers of rice and old slippers
bestowed So freely on the newly
welded
