PENNY WEDDINGS

Domain	Definition
Literature	Penny Weddings Wedding banquets in Scotland, to which a number of persons were invited, each of whom paid a small sum of money not exceeding a shilling. After defraying the expenses of the feast, the residue went to the newly-married pair, to aid in furnishing their house. Abolished in 1645. "Vera true, vera true. We'll have a' to pay ... a sort of penny-wedding it will prove, where all men contribute to the young folks' maintenance."- Sir Walter Scott: Fortunes of Nigel, chap. xxvii.
