That's kinda gross!!! It really makes you think if they are necessary anymore!

EWWWW! GROSS! LOL! What a way to "hide" B.O. Now every time I think about wedding bouquets, I'll have that in my head. Good thing I'm already married! Sorry bride-to-bes!

And EW...what kind of a honeymoon would THAT be?!

LOL. I had actually heard that before! Thank goodness that isn't still the reason for the bouquet.

Seriously? Did a bouquet of Flowers really mask the funk accumulated over the bride's lifetime. Back then the common person wer bathed twice- when born and when they die.

Did you know...

Brides would wear veils to confuse any evil spirits. THe Bridal party came about because all of the girls would dress in white with veils so that evil spirits would not know who the true bride was and couldn't harm her.

There are some pretty aromatic flowers out there that they may have used, and then there is the fact that everyone would have been stinky, so it wouldn't have seemed as bad to anyone back then.

Did you know that the bride stands on the left and the grrom on the right because way back when, the groom had to keep his sword hand free in case anyone tried to stop the wedding and/or kill him. Leaving his left hand free, he would grab his bride and hold her back so she would not get hurt, killed or taken away by the one attacking them.
