Shave Your Head and Get in the Closet: Dark History of Marriage
Ойын-сауық
Hi Friends, happy Thursday!
Welcome to the Dark History podcast. We’re going to the chapel and we’re going to get married! But it’s not all pretty dresses and delicious cake (mmmmmm cake). In fact, a lot of the wedding traditions that we hold near and dear have a pretty dark past. In today’s episode we’ll find out why we kiss the bride, why the father gives the bride away, why bridesmaids exist and what’s with their matching dresses, and why the garter toss is even a thing.
I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

The story I heard is that, since Spartan men weren't allowed to live with their wives until they were in their 30s, and started training at about 7, they had only ever really been around men. So some historians think that the hair shaving and men's clothes was supposed to ease the men into heterosexuality.

Hey Bailey just thought I'd let you know the true origin of the word "history", even though His Story fits like a glove, it comes from historía (Ancient Greek: ἱστορία, romanized: historíā) meaning to inquire or to judge 😊 Have a great day and keep teaching us more!
I’m 36, never been married, I’d be fine if it never happens. Especially having been in not one but TWO abusive relationships, freedom is glorious! I never fantasized about any dream weddings as a child like they do in the movies lol. But even if I had money to spend I still would never want a big expensive wedding.

Without the addition of the bride wearing men's attire, it's actually tradition for some Orthodox Jewish women to have their head shaved upon being wedded. Of course, they would proceed to wear a wig, but shaving the head was viewed to be the removal of an element that existed before becoming someone's wife.

She sounds like a smart lady! My grandmother married at 28, thinking she'd be a spinster forever, because her beau was forced to take over the family business when his brother eloped and left him in the lurch. But they eventually were able to marry. Had 5 kids (because they didn't know a thing about birth control) and were very happy together. Raised their kids in a Bristol, UK, during WWII.
I’ve always rejected the idea of being married since I was a girl. Always thought it was so misogynistic and patriarchal and I would have an extremely non-traditional wedding if anything. But the idea itself I don’t like the history of and what it has always meant. This just further confirmed everything I believed and felt. Thank you for doing a video on this! You had me cracking up the whole time.
I love that Dark History is going strong and that the MMM Monday episodes are back too! They are getting me through a very hard time and I love that Bailey is continuing this and just going hard for us all out here 💖
I got married two years ago during COVID and we kept it small. We did the dress, my sisters were bridesmaids, and we had a friend make us cheesecakes rather than a big wedding cake. It was more intimate and personal and we were with our nearest and dearest family members and friends. We even wanted that before COVID. We didn’t want to do the bouquet toss or the garter. We didn’t have a big dance party (just a friend with a speaker set up playing violin versions of popular music). And it was the best day ever. I’m hoping to see more of a trend that direction because for me, a lot of wanting a smaller wedding was because of cost and the icky consumerism of it all. And it ended up being absolutely perfect for us. Also-with what you said about Vegas weddings-I’d say it’s the same case with courthouse weddings too, which is so sad because those weddings can be incredibly sweet and intimate too.
“Cringe around every corner..”😂😂😂 lol I’ve never really thought about it but you’re right! me & my husband eloped and didn’t even tell our fam🫣 total cost was $50 to sign our license 🙃
Giving a diamond as an engagement ring is also rooted back to medieval times when they believed different stones held different powers of protection (described in their medical textbooks called "lapidaries"). Emeralds, for example, protected against poison, and pearls could prevent heart failure, etc etc. The diamond was believed to be the catch-all, be-all of stones, believing that it was the best overall stone to protect against most myriad of things, so to gift your new bride a diamond was to say that you were trying to protect her from most harm that could come her way.

Okay, this episode was so interesting to me. I loved to learn about the history of marriage, I am getting married in May 2023 to my boyfriend, on our 10th anniversary. I am from the Netherlands so my dream was to have my wedding the "American way", because the traditions in the Netherlands are quite different. You see, my fiance is going to get me from my parents place, Where I will be sleeping the evening and night before the wedding, and that is where he Will see me for the first time in my dress and all. I never really liked that idea, because I always thought that me and my dad walking down the aisle was more of a "blessing" to my dad, since I am a real big daddy's girl. Now I'm thinking, this, the Dutch way, is really sweet too. Because it's a blessing for my parents to see my husband to be, taking me to our wedding location from their house, the house I grew up in, it has something special now i think about it. Idk, I normally don't comment because I feel like I have nothing interesting to say, but now I wanted to make an exception. I litteraly cannot wait to be wedded to him, because I always thought it was an honor to be able to carry his last name, although I'm not sure if that is also done the same way I'm America? 🤔 anyways thank you Bailey for helping me see the beauty in my own county's traditions. Now I see and understand not anything, including wedding traditions, have to be the American way,! I love you so much Bailey, thanks for everything and all your hard work!!!❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏

Well, in less than three months, you shall be marrying your love of ten years! I don't even know you, but I am so very happy for you and your future husband. I actually love the tradition of your country and I definitely think you should have him retrieve you from your parent's home, in your wedding dress. I think it is sweet and more private and meaningful. I wish you every happiness life can offer! PS your English is excellent.
Usually when a groom smashes the cake into the bride's face, when she specifically asks him not to, and she gets upset as well afterward, it's a sure sign that it won't last. There's animosity disguised as something fun and cute mixed with disrespect. A million wedding photographers and planners can't be wrong. And as for the burning bush...there's a cream for that.

I'm proud to say my wedding costed less than 2k for 2 venues, food, flowers, photographer, dress, husband's tux etc. Everyone thought it was a 20k wedding, but my dress was a closeout for $75, decor came from goodwill, we made the food and cake ourselves, flower arrangements were done by some volunteers from bulk bought flowers etc. Weddings can be done cheaply and still look amazing with creativity and hard work/planning. And a dash of luck 😆
Watching this after already being opposed to rushing into marriage and having a wedding , solidifies my choices and I feel so blessed to be woken on this money making traditions that so many fall into. Thank you Bailey for educating us on this topic, it was very much needed when being pressured at a young age. 🙏🏽❤️

I'm Hmong and in my culture (back in the day) if you wanted to marry a girl, all you had to do was kidnap her and she would have to marry you. My father is very traditional, but this was one of the traditions he said he was happy ended. He said because he wouldn't want to have to k!ll someone for taking me XD made my day when he said that.

I've Been married twice. The first marriage I was totally brainwashed into the American standard of weddings, though It was a smallish affair on a small budget with family and a few friends but it was extremely stressful with planning a venue, a reception and spending WAY too much on a dress that I only wore once! And of course it was a marriage doomed to fail. The Second time around we made an appointment to get married at the county clerk's building, the location was still really nice because it was outdoors on the harbor and with a simple ceremony. I ordered my dress from Amazon and only paid $40 for it and arranged my own bridal bouquet. We also ordered our rings off Amazon. Two friends attended and one took photos. My husband was happy because he could still wear jeans with a dress shirt and a snappy blazer. I loved how the photos came out! It was perfect and stress free!
I always look forward to seeing Joan’s dress for each episode

I was only 11. It's scary to think that, if that occured in this era, instead of 1989, and I had become impregnated at that age because of SA, I would now be required to carry and give birth to my attackers baby. Furthermore, if I couldn't prove the assault on court, he could ask for shared custody.

Definitely not trying to justify the tradition (it's horrifying!) but ancient women often started their cycles much later than modern women due to poor nutrition and other health issues. So there probably weren't any 9 & 10 year old brides outside of possibly nobility. Lots of early to late teens, of course, but not often before that.
