For some brides, the wedding shower amounts to a real privilege. Although it\u2019s certainly not the case for everyone, many a bride eagerly looks forward to the time when her friends and family gather to shower her with warm wishes, attention and presents in advance of the big day. We\u2019ll probably never know the exact story behind the bridal shower<\/a>, but one that everyone likes to tell involves a poor Dutch girl who came up against the dowry system. Since the object of her affections (a poor miller) didn\u2019t please her father, her father refused to cough up the requisite dowry, effectively scotching the marriage.<\/p>\n

Of course, the surrounding townsfolk knew a good story when they saw it. One by one, they gathered useful household items, enough to support a new household. But even this wasn\u2019t romantic enough, so the entire town kept the whole thing a secret until they were able to throw a giant gift-giving party for the lucky bride.<\/p>\n
