(TO BE CONTINUED)
By a wedding custom common in
the British isles until the early part
of the Nineteenth century, the couple
sent out Invitations in which pres
ents were solicited from those who
accepted the bidding. More strange,
these solicited gifts were regarded
in the light of debts to be paid back
by the couple. On the eve of the wed
ding the groom received at his house
presents of money, cheese, butter tnd
cattle from his friends, and the bride
received similar gifts at her house
from her friends. An account of each
gift and the giver was kept in writing
by the clerk of the wedding and the
presents then became debts, which in
gome cases were transferrable or as
gignable to other persons. In other
words these wedding gift-debts were
repayable upon demand at any time,
and upon refusal, recoverable at law.
it was in Scotland, however, where
a wedding became a real husiness
event. At their “penny weddings” of
the last century the expense of the
marriage wns defrayed not by the
couple or their friends, but by the
guests all of whom paid something
