Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  A bride's bouquet of fresh flowers came about in order to cover the smell of the bride back when people only bathed 1-2 times a year! (Ick!!!) By carrying a bouquet of sweet-smelling flowers, it was hoped that it would cover up the fact that the bride smelled bad!
What do you like about this subject?  It's wonderful to promote the use of good manners and social graces. Excellent manners are the hallmark of the upper class and are the backbone of polite behavior.
