SUPERSTITION

THE FIRST THING A BRIDAL COUPLE SHOULD EAT IS BREAD AND SALT.
IF THEY DO THIS, THEY WILL NEVER GO HUNGRY DURING THEIR
MARRIAGE.

Submitter comment: AFTER A POLISH WEDDING, THE BRIDE AND GROOM COME INTO THE
RECEPTION HALL (WHERE THE FESTIVITIES OF THE WEDDING TAKE
PLACE). THE COOK MEETS THEM AT THE DOOR OF THE HALL WITH BREAD
AND SALT. THEY EAT THIS BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE AND BEFORE ANY OF
THE GUESTS EAT.
