ThomasPowers Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 As the 'wedding over the anvil' tradition was based on a particularity of Scottish law vs English law; that two people could marry themselves by reciting their vows in front of witnesses in a public place and the town of Gretna Green was the first one over the border on a major coaching turnpike from London and the blacksmith's shop was close by, public and always had witnesses to hand. It became a well know spot to elope to by couples not able to get the license and have the Banns posted due to parental disapproval. So very scottish and I know of no other "tradition" involving it. (Though I have run into quite a lot of hogwash on the subject with absolutely no documentation...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's going to want to decorate it, having a well cleaned and decorated shop might just become your main duty. When Deb and I got married a good friend brought an anvil and played the wedding march on it. . . Sort of. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmall Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Holly. Anvil, Batman! We need to get to the root of the problem. I'll bet its bark is worse than its bite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Oh my, looks like C-1 is tapped, BigB is quaking, Dave's branching nicely on his own and any reply I could address to Farmall would be trunkated. Give me a ring when you come up with more. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
