Tossing The Bridal Bouquet
Tossing of the bridal bouquet is a custom
which has its roots in England.
It was believed that the bride could pass
along good fortune to others.
In order to obtain this fortune,
spectators would try to tear away pieces of the bride's clothing and
flowers.
In an attempt to get away, the bride
would toss her bouquet into the crowd.
Tradition says that the single women who
catches the bouquet is the one who receives the bride's fortune and will
marry next.
