Know why so many people get married in June? In the 1500s, most did so because they took their yearly baths in May! While the happy couple smelled better than usual on their way to the altar, the bride still carried a bouquet of flowers to mask any lingering body odor.
Yes, The Annual Bath Was A Big Deal Back Then
The man of the house got the tub first. Then came the sons. Next, the women hopped in and finally, the children and babies. By then, the water was so dirty, a person could get lost in it. Hence, the saying still used today, “Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water.”
We’ve come a long way. While bathing was the exception in the 16th century, Scheuer Linens wants you to have a wonderful bed and bath experience every single day.
