what does jewelry box have to do with bride bouquet?

having only ever been to receptions of friends weddings (or friends of woman I was dating) I am clueless about this (tradition?)

Tradition holds that the girl who catches to bouquet will be the next to marry. And engagement rings are frequently presented in the box.

aahhhhhhhhhh.. danke :)

this clarifies much.. does anyone know where this tradition sprang from? and what sort of myth revolves around it? I mean besides the catch bouquet-engagement ring thingie.. like if there is a story surrounding it?

yes I had never heard this one before, and yes I might just be from another planet ;Þ silly beans :)

scary

Please tell me he didn't really do that... it would be a shame to have to kill him; he seems like such a nice boy.

Hehe... thinking about it, or joking about, is ok. Doing it would just be lame.

Yeah... men can be baffling sometimes in the way they think.

I thought it was a very creative idea :D

Of course, this is why I usually consult other people before I try such things ;)

I suppose I should thank the people who told me it was a bad idea.

... Especially since it is very difficult, I would think, to "accidentally" catch the bouquet? To put forth the effort to acquire it would seem to indicate some interest in the expected result.
