During the long walk from the bride\u2019s home to the church, she ran the risk of attracting evil spirits or even running into jealous ex-lovers (awkward\u2026) To protect her from these unpleasant run-ins, the bride\u2019s closest friends were asked to wear a dress similar to the bride\u2019s, so as to trick the spirits or jilted beaus. If this sounds like a tough job, the original duty of the Best Man takes the wedding cake\u2014the groom\u2019s best swordsman served as his armed guard in case the bride\u2019s parents changed their minds and a kidnapping was in order.
