Wedding Traditions–Some History

I found this post about weddings and marriage recently.  Whether you agree with its implied politics or not, it does say a lot about wedding traditions, including a number of things I did not know before.  I had heard that in the Middle Ages weddings were not conducted in churches, although I did not know why.  And I had no notion where the tradition of tossing the garter came from.  (It’s a little appalling, actually.)  Take a look and see what you think.
