It is believed that the custom of carrying the bride over the threshold originated from the same belief that aroused the idea of runaway carpet and strewing the isle with flowers and petals. According to ancient belief; the newly married couple was very susceptible to evil spirits. By carrying the bride and supplying a protective layer between the floor and the bride, she would be protected from the ground monster.
It is rather intriguing to look at old wedding customs and to make comparisons to more modern systems that have been put in place. Whether there was a ground monster or not, an item of interest to the modern bride has been a personalized wedding tote. A very elegant fabric tote that is quite pleasing to the eye and would make it to the top of the wish list of any bride today.
