Fun food fact: which sweets the bride distributed to single friends in the Middle East?
w-eet-jes02/17/2025In the Middle East, the tradition of bathing has been known for centuries, where the bride-to-be was 'purified' by female family members over a few days, often in a bath with milk and in a cloud of incense. This cleansing was considered essential for the success of her marriage. Meanwhile, the older women gave her tips on how to be a sensual wife for her husband. Afterwards, the bride shared honey and oranges with her single girlfriends, to wish them luck in their own search for a husband. Sounds relaxing, such a hammam party!
