"For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul." — Judy Garland
BRITAIN
It means passing obstacles that further newlyweds can have in their future life or some other British people think that this tradition came from the Romans. When the girls didn't want to get married, the grooms stole their brides and carried them to their homes in their arms.
BELARUS
It means the protection of the bride from evil spirits that live under the doorstep and from death (as the doorstep is associated with the line between the world of the dead and the alive). The bride is always carefully lifted over the threshold on her return from the marriage ceremony because “it is considered very unlucky for a bride to place her feet on or near the threshold” and “trouble is in store for the maiden who prefer walking into the house”.
