Wedding related terms you don't know

I figured maybe we could help each other out.

I for one, have no clue what fondant icing is.

So maybe someone can tell me and someone else can post something they don't know

Fondant is what the cake at the wedding of the year had covering it. I think it's a sugar paste that rolls on thicker than icing and smoother too. I love the way it looks but not fond of the taste.

I'm already married and I still don't know what a Trousseau (sp?) is!

Trousseau I think, is the stuff abride brings with her, traditionally provded by her family household items and clothing, but I think it commonly refers specifically to clothes and stuff brought on honeymoon or something?

UGH!

My italian family is big on this. From what I understand a trousseau is something oldtimers used more when no one really had showers. Your family, aunts, mom and grandmas would collect things for you from the time you were little. Things like extra sheets, bedding, pillows etc. They'd even crochet things for you and include that.

At least that's my family's definition.

I didn't know what sixpense was...... I'm not even sure if I spelled it right. My coordinator told me the bride puts it in her shoe for Good Luck.

A sixpence is an old term for 5 cents (I think!). All I know is that it's old English.

Re: Wedding related terms you don't know

I just saw six pence in a wedding catalog. They apparently have the original minted sixpence for sale so you can stick them in your shoe... doesn't that hurt?
