AFTER A WEDDING THE BRIDE AND GROOM COME BACK TO
THE BRIDE'S HOME. THE BRIDE HAS TO KNOCK ON THE DOOR
AND WHEN ASKED WHO IS THERE, SHE MUST ANSWER BY HER
MARRIAGE NAME. THEN BOTH HER AND THE GROOM ARE GIVEN
A PIECE OF WHITE BREAD WITH SALT ON IT AND A GLASS OF
WINE. THIS IS TO SYMBOLIZE FOOD AND HAPPINESS IN THE
NEW MARRIAGE.
