Carrying The Bride Across The Threshold

    Yet another wedding custom originated in Italy-Rome.  The bride had to be carried across the threshold because she was (or pretended to be) reluctant to enter the bridal chamber.  In those days, it was considered ladylike to be hesitant at this point-or at least look hesitant.  (Another legend has it that the bride was carried over the threshold to protect her from any evil spirits lingering there).
