Arranged Several Interesting- Nuptials for the Week Ancient Marriage Customs Retold Most of Details of Present Day Ceremonies. Have Superstitious Origin. By MOLLIS BVSOOMW WHKN the .Tunc bride of I'll 5 plights her troth according to the proscribed Protestant service, she will lie repeating practically the tame vows thut the maids of IiicaarJ tho .Second '8 time took when they repeated after the proper official: "leh M. take the X. to my weddid husbond, to haven and to hidden, for fayrcre, for fouler, for better, for worn, for richer for purer, in seknosso and in hi III, for th.vx time forward, til dethe us dopurto, thif holi-chirch will it orden; nod therto iche plitli the my treuthe." The study of iincient mnrringo ceremonies is a most interesting occupation liuil nt this iime when nil is "marrying und giving in marriage" some of them arc consistently worthy of occupying n conspicuous pluco on the society puce. . Tho iincient Ktruseuus, we are told, were married in the streets, just before the door of the house or church, which were opened following the service. This custom seemed to have prevailed for a long time, history relating the marriage of Kdwnrd I to Margaret, sister of the king of France, at the door of Canter bury cathedral in IL'IIP, and other nuptials up to the reign of Kdwnrd VI. Mnrringo ceremonies previous to this time were, for the greater pint, mere verbal contnictH, tind differed in various lands. In the (Ireek church today the marriage ritual is more elaborate than in liny other Christian denomination, plans und rehearsals for which must be in shape Several weeks previous. In Hra.il a couple may be married by drinking brandy together; in Japan by so many cups of wine; in Russia and Scandinavia it used to lie one cup for both. Tho simple joining; of hands originating among the Hotnnns, and practiced anion;; the Hindoos is also common to other parts of the world. In Scotland the mar riiige ceremony is called ''hand fasting." mid in supposed to hnve been intro duced by the early Dmics. In Australia a woman carries fire to her lover's hut. and in ukes a fire i'nr him. The Jewish ceremony is perhaps the most picturesque, the nuptial pair sipping n cup of consvrutod w ine. The rnbbi then ninkes nn ad dress, closing by Inking n glass of wine in his hand and pronouncing the seven prescribed benedict ions. Again the bride and bridegroom taste the beverage, after which the latter places the cup on the floor, crushing it into atoms r.s a tymbol that the marriage is to last until the fragments can be united. The wedding ring, bride cake, bride favours, bridesmaids, bridegroom men, in tho best man, was formerly called, nnil the superstitious customs of strewing flowers along the bridal pathway and the part which gloves and shoes play nt weddings, are nil most untiiiinted ideas, und have in many instances changed con siderably in their significance since their introduction. King's were used anciently to bind practically all contracts, agreements and grunts Mid this is probably the reason that they have continued to be employed in this more sacred ritual. The bride cake was formerly of wheat and barley, and the original custom of using it is still retained in Yorkshire. Here it is cut into small pieces, which are thrown over the bride 's and bridegroom 's heads and afterwards passed through the ring nine times. The pieces are then distributed among the guests to be placed beneath the possessors pillows to inspiru romantic dreams, the latter custom remaining in vogue today. In modern times the wedding ring is placed upon the fourtli finger, to remain there, but in the early Knglish missals the ring is directed to be put first upon the thumb, then on the second, third and lastly on the fourth finger. The hand on which it was to be worn was not mentioned. The use of bridesmaids dates back to the Anglo-Saxon;!, nnd in early times it was their place to lend the bridegroom to the church, the bridegroom's men con ducting the bride. The best mini was at one time known as brideknight, nnd is said to have established his position, when he first lent his assistance to the cave man in cap turing his bride. The early Romans had a prety custom of having children precede the bride, bearing a torch of white thorn in honor of Ceres, the flower girl und ring bearer nf today, no doubt, taking in a way this small person's place. The present day custom of strewing rose petals and flowers down the bridal nisle, no doubt is derived from the iincient pructiie of scattering laurel leaves nnil blossoms over the threshold of the newly married couple. Drinking wine at weddings was another custom quite universally observed tit luic time, Shakespeare in his " Turning of the Shrew, ' ' telling us of " I'ctruchio, ' ' who culled for wine nt the wedding feast, pledged a health, and having ipinffed muscadal, throws the remainder in the sexton's face. This latter incident was not part of the ceremony, however. T ...iu., m uum X 1 1 '' ' I tt. ' ' , ' I X ' ' ' " ' ' I " ; C-X t t . m- x ' V -w"" I ; ' . f M I , . !
