I don't think i'm going to do this, but I think you do it at your house..

I think going into whatever room you are going to after the wedding...so into the hotel room or into your house or apartment.

I just posted a thread with this link a little while ago, but no one really looked at, so I'll share:

threshold

Snopes has a whole thing on wedding customs, this is the threshold part

ETA: It actually says that the reason you carry the bride is 'because she had to be carried to her deflowering lest she get away if set down'

Am I interpreting that wrong or is it saying that it was originally done so that the bride couldn't run away at the thought of losing her virginity? I have this mental image of 'YOU WANT TO PUT WHAT WHERE???@?@'

ohhhh thats fun! i just read it and it said in the 'old times' they were carried so they wouldnt run away from being 'deflowered'. TOO LATE!

ETA--I should have read the direct Snopes article before opening my big mouth. Deleted.
