Blackening the bride

This is a very funny pre-wedding tradition practiced in Scotland in which bride is taken captive by her friends, who then cover her with as many disgusting things as possible like eggs,flour,soot,feathers etc. After all this fun, the bride is paraded around town to embarrass her more. The reason behind this is to prepare her for marital problems. It seems really joyful unless you are not that unlucky bride.
