The Honeymoon
The HoneyMoonIn Yorkshire, hot water is often poured over the door-steps of the hall door as the bride and bridegroom drive away as before it dries up, it is thought that another marriage is sure to be agreed upon, this is known as 'keeping the threshold warm for another bride. | “ | As soon as the bride and bridegroom had left the house, and had the usual number of old shoes thrown after them, the young folks rushed forward, each bearing a tea-kettle of boiling water, which they poured down the front door-steps, that other marriages might soon flow. | ” |
