"Just Married"

Ever wonder where the custom of decorating the getaway vehicle came from? It all goes back to those evil spirits. In the nineteenth century, couples in the American South and Midwest were commonly followed home on foot by their guests banging on pots and pans and making as much noise as possible in part to keep spirits away. As for the shoes, they dated back to the Tudors, when throwing a clomper at the couple was suppose to bring good luck- if you hit either the couple or the carriage, you got an extra dose.


Although I love traditions I'm glad the getaways are now about having fun and getting creative!!
