I love these photo's of June brides, being spanked on their knickers down bare bottoms. To me this justifies a happy marriage usually begins with a well spanked naked rear end of a blushing bride.
The wedding themed pictures remind me of a custom long followed in the Russian Orthodox Church. Are you familiar with it? When a betrothal takes place, the father of the bride gives her three light swats, then hands the switch to his future son in law who does likewise. It symbolizes the passage of the father's authority over his daughter to the young man she will wed. This is briefly depicted in the movie "Peter the Great." Today, naturally, it is done in a spirit of good humor, but in times past it conveyed a very serious meaning, indeed!
jimc -- spanking and marriage do seem like a good fit, as long as both partners agree to it.
Megan Lowry == No, I hadn't heard of that tradition. Thanks for telling us about it! I do seem to recall hearing of a tradition--no idea what country or culture it's from--where the Mother spanks the Bride on her wedding day before the ceremony, symbolizing the last day the daughter is under her guidance, and that once married, the husband takes over that role.

Dr. Ken, Yes you are correct. This seems to have been a tradition in rural parts of Sweden.
