Bleeeehhh!!! I feel just like Lothiriel... I myself have always found this a terribly gross custom in real life. Ewwww! (Thank God we don't have to do this anymore...)
BUT - Great drabble! Very well written! Very Happy smiley face

I've read of this custom being done, but never thought about how humiliating it would be for a young bride fron another culture. Wonderfully done!!! ROFL smiley face

I have heard about that in romance novels ages ago when I read them and thought the same thing. I heard somewhere that one custom was to have witnesses!!! And I think they may have been parents of the couple. I don't know where I read that but can you imagine!?!?! No pressure for the man to perform then I am sure. Shocked smiley face

I guess now we know why the women considered it a "duty". They were too embarassed to admit they liked it.

This did seem to be one of the more odious customs. I wonder if it is still in practice, on the QT, among the royals and those of artistocratic blood? Can you imagine?

Anyway, I found only one problem: you need a comma before Lothiriel in the first line. Otherwise, a great read. Thank you for sharing.

Ha! Poor thing. I like how you got her embarassment and Eomer's nonchelance (is that a word?) dead on.

to answer Rous's question, I do believe this custom is still practised among some Eastern European Romany Gypsies - or so I am told!

oh, and I have put the comma in the correct place Doh! smiley face

Oh my.

Poor Lothiriel. I too, have read about this custom - as well as the public beddings in some other cultures (which is why I refused to have Here Comes the Bride played at my wedding - the opera it is taken from is the scene where the groom is being taken to the bride for the VERY public bedding... bleh!)

Still... very nice. Eomer should be smacked!
