Ok, what now
I learned this today. Not everyone knows everything like you .
You flatter me.
This is kind of a very common fact.
If only. They don't teach about arranged marriages or marriages at all in most schools
Now do a handstand
Way too old and fat for that
It’s called a ranged marriage because the bride and groom had to stay far away from each other
A lot of us Jews still have a tradition not to see each other for the week before.
And me. I’m very flattered by this. Thank you.
Waaaaaaaaaay! Jokes! User name checked right out and is halfway across the hotel lobby by now.
It's literally just sitcom fodder though. Like, every movie or TV show that features a wedding will inevitably have this trope.

I wonder how many of y’all after a week apart are like “you know what, I’m good. See yea!”

But that doesn’t connect it to the arranged marriage part. I think that’s the interesting part that people are talking about
In the UK it’s traditional for the groom not to see his bride the day before the wedding for luck.
Ehhhh, not even close. Coercion sure, but assuming it’s consensual it’s really not that bad. Arranged marriages tend to be fairly successful
When I was 10 I was 25.
But yeah...
This is actually the reason though. There was a fear that if the groom saw the bride before he might run, but if he sees her at the alter there was no way out.
