OLD WEDDING DAY CUSTOMS
Many suPerstItlons Have Clustered
Around the Marriage Ceremony,
Especially In OIden Times.

Superstition never clustered round
any episode Of life more than that Of
the wedding day, especially In olden
times. ..a ...... ......
Then 1t was customary for the bride
to present her future husband with a
bunch OF rosemary, tied up with rib
bons, on his first appearance on the
wedding morning. This was supposed
to insure his love and loyalty. and to
make her happy forever
In Yorkshire the old superstition
still abounds that nothing more un.
lucky could happen than for a newly
made bride to leave the church by a
different door from that by which she
entered. ..
Another quaint custom, for which
there is no known origin, is that
practiced In some of the midland and
northern counties. This Is to ring a
merry peal of the church bells at the
first reading of the banns of an in.
tending matrimonial couple. 1t is
called the -"spur peal" which in old
Anglo-Saxon means simply "ask."
OF course 1t is we'll known that it
is the height of luck for the bride to-
be to dream of fairies the night before
the actual ceremony. So much was
this idea believed in that many girls
would peruse fairy tales before going
to sleep.-Answers.
