Also, Rose, I wonder if your thought on entering Dutch houses applies to other Western European countries as well? It would explain some of my German friend’s behavior.

I’m not positive, but I’d say yes! It could totally apply, especially since Dutch and German cultures are pretty close!

In rural Mexico, when two people get married part of the ceremony is the handing over of the money box to the bride. They think the woman is more trustworthy, so the groom gets to earn the money, but the bride gets to manage it.

That’s so cool! The Vikings believed a similar thing!

It reminds me that there’s a traditional Amazigh (Berber) wedding custom that the bride’s dowry is a gold belt.
