These ancient Irish wedding traditions and superstitions for the groom and the bride will keep everyone on ... The groom often tossed a handful of coins into the crowd after the wedding ceremony.

I was delighted to witness many of these at my brother-in-law’s wedding on Friday, August 11, at St. Mary’s Church in Killererin, followed by a reception in Lough Rea Hotel and Spa in Loughrea.
