This tradition isn’t limited to just Denmark. It’s also been seen in Egypt & Russia (ironic), and many places in between. Sometimes it was to confuse evil spirits, and other times it was considered an effort to “lessen the sexual danger.”

At Contagious Events, we believe some wedding traditions are downright silly. Do them if you’d like to, but if it’s out of obligation, the tradition is most likely rooted in a really ridiculous belief, so feel free to do your wedding, your way!

Contagious clients enjoy unlimited communication and meetings, 24/7 access to an online client portal to keep all wedding details in one place, flat fee billing and more.
