The rice-throwing picture must be a rare one. The casual pose in the last one is nt the norm either.

And indeed, we now have a clue about when the rice tradition was already there. Presumably rice means luck except of course when a single grain ends up in your shoe :)Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08512412669995490110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998504259104643425.post-12898040943225083122012-08-25T05:31:55.786+01:002012-08-25T05:31:55.786+01:00Think this is the first old photo I've seen of...Think this is the first old photo I've seen of rice being thrown at a couple after a wedding. Most old wedding photos seem to be more posed and formal. This is a fun shot. What a lovely church!Queen Beehttp://www.beeskneesdaily.comnoreply@blogger.com
