In early times a wedding was strategically planned to outwit the demons. They were thought to be spirits of the air. Loud noises could frighten them away. Wed- ding processions were therefore noisy, At many country mar- rn in Europe the young men ~~ef fhe bridal party fired guns close to the ears of the bride and bridegroom all the way to the church. In some parts of ancient In- dia; arrows were shot into the air to pierce the eyes of the demons lurking around the bride. There were also supposed to be evil spirits living below. The bride was considered especially vulnerable and pains were taken to ensure that her feet didn't touch the ground and so allow the spirits to enter her body, CARRIED TO CHURCH Brides were carried to church and to their new home. In some countries a sort of litter was 'used. In others, the bride was lifted right from the bed in OUTSPAN VALENCIAS, FINEST QUALITY, SIZE 72 her* parents' home to the back J ' of a horse for the trip to church. i And in parts of France women 50 e friends carried the bride seated on their crossed arms. 4 tf Fire wy disguise were other ¢C £ 5 WwW means of driving away or fool- ing. fhe evil spirits.
