A Queer Marriage Custom From Sweden
The December Woman's Home Companion notes a Scandinavian practice where a bride gifts a prayer-book and other items, often a goose, and the groom receives a shirt from the bride in Sweden. He wears it on his wedding day, stores it away, and never wears it again while alive, but may wear it in his grave. Some Swedes believe in the resurrection of the betrothal shirt and of the body, while widowers must destroy the first wife’s wedding shirt before a second marriage.
