[BITList] As others see us

>From yesterday's Herald, quoting a tourist magazine available in Turkey. Under a heading of "bizarre wedding traditions" it says of Scotland:

"A day before the wedding the bride is taken out on the street to get dirty. Tomato sauce and egg is mixed up together. The bride, washed up and down with the mixture, is walked among the city. At night, the bride sits among the elders of the family and lets them wash her feet.  This tradition symbolises the walk a couple takes through the path of happiness.  For the wedding ceremony the bride places coins inside her shoes."

I didn't know that.  Any other bizarre wedding customs out there?

Hugh.
