Irish Tradition

While we were at the Secret Garden Tea House, a woman came in looking to buy a teacup and saucer for a bride-to-be whose shower was that weekend.

She told us she had learned from her Irish mother that this was a tradition in Ireland. One would give a young bride a teacup and saucer for her trousseau. Personally I thought this was a lovely tradition. She said that the tradition was growing in popularity along with the beverage.

Sounds good to me!.

Oh, that's a lovely custom! I have a second wave of weddings coming up with my friends this spring. I'll keep this tradition in mind.
