The word wedding is said to have At Black-smith- come from an old custom in the early in Britain days of the Anglo-Saxon- s Their primitive mode of procuring a wife was for a young man, when he had fixed his choice on any young maiden, to go with a band of friends, and carry, her off most likely with her own secret counivance. The relatives would follow in hot pursuit; a feud between the tamilies ensued and was only ippeased by the lover agree ing to pay the value fixed by the fa ther for his bride, he giving a "wed" or security for his performance of the contract hence the word "wedding." The transfer of authority was made by a symbolical gill; the father deliv ering the brile s shoe to the bridegroom, and the latter touching: her on the head with it a ceremony which had its origin from the custom of placing the foot on the neck of a slave, and was' typical of the wife's subjection to the husband. This ceremony is still preserved in the popular custom of "throwing the shoe." The marriage ceremony was very simple a joining of hands, and proclaiming themselves man and wife, and a ring placed on the first finger of the bride's left hand. 's F. A.
