Where did the Custom of Groomsmen Originate?
March 4th, 2008 by admin
Have you seen those well dressed gentlemen standing next the happy married couple? You know, when you go to weddings and they are there next to the bridesmaid? Well, those are the groomsmen for the wedding. Have you ever wonder how the custom of groomsmen originate in weddings come about?
I will try to tell you where the custom of groomsmen originate. It mainly stems from the Roman times. There was a law where it needs at least 10 people to witness a wedding for it to be consider official. There are also some talks about doing away with evil spirits.
And this is how it came about. The next time you attend a wedding and see the groomsmen up there. You will have the Romans to thank.
