Retro Style Hat for Bride

In Scotland we find a similar practice observed. The mother or nearest female relative of the bridegroom attends at his house to receive the newly-married pair.

She is expected to meet them at the door with a currant bun in her hands, which she breaks over the head of the bride before entering the house. It is considered very unlucky should the currant bun be broken by mistake over the head of any person but that of the bride. Herrick alludes to this practice:

"While some repeat

Your praise, and bless you, sprinkling you with wheat."
