    did you know that apparently the bouget became tradition because in the olden days (as i call it) most people had their yearly proper baths in around may time so by the summer wedding time they wouldn't be as smelly but would carry a bouget to disguise the smell

    Yeah... so funny in a way!

    The honeymoon used to be a month so the bride was pregnant when she returned... that was in the days when men used to kidnap their brides!
