13 Look at the picture. Write everything that you’ve known about wedding superstitions in your own country and other countries of the world and explain their origin.

E xample: Carrying the bride over the threshold for protecting the bride from evil spirits that were thought to be lying in wait under the threshold (the first explanation). The second explanation relates to the Roman times when it was believed that if the bride stumbled when entering the newlywed's home for the first time, it would bring bad luck and harm to their marriage. So carrying the bride across the threshold prevents this from happening. A lot of people believe in this wedding superstition all over the world. Не поняла
