The Silver Bridge.

One of the customs observed at a Bohemian marriage feast is that of making the bride cross a silver bridge. The bride’s father-in-law lifts her on to the table. Where she walks on two rows of silver coins, at the end of which her husband stands and receives her into bis arms. The silver bridge typifies the wealth with which her bridegroom hopes to smooth her path in life.
