Ex-Emmerdale star Mica Keeble helps bride’s on their big day following bizarre viral Tik Tok trend
As a seasoned observer of cultural traditions and a lover of all things quirky, I must say that the wedding rituals across Europe are nothing short of fascinating! From Finland’s bride kidnapping to Spain’s tie-cutting, these unique customs truly paint a vibrant picture of each nation’s rich history and folklore.
Former Emmerdale actor Mica Kebble is involved in the debut of a “fortune sausage,” which stems from an unusual TikTok craze.
In 2018, the actress, aged 27 at the time and known for portraying a young Charity Dingle in the soap opera, revealed the latest HECK! product following her discovery of brides-to-be burying sausages online as a superstition.
A trend currently spreading rapidly involves people digging holes for raw sausages with the intention of having favorable weather conditions.
As a long-time resident of the British Isles, I have grown accustomed to the quirky and superstitious customs that seem to permeate every aspect of our culture. One such tradition that has always intrigued me is the belief that certain items can help ward off rain on one’s wedding day. This “something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue” custom has been passed down through generations and is still widely practiced today.
As someone who encountered my current spouse and, oh boy, my former superior Roddy Keeble during my tenure at the factory in Bedale, I’ve found myself employing that strategy long before I took those memorable steps down the brightly lit aisle five years back.
As a lifestyle connoisseur, I’m thrilled to announce the debut of our exclusive offering – the ‘Brides Lucky Sausage’ Ring. This special edition ring is infused with aromatic herbs such as sage, rosemary, and thyme, along with a touch of luck-bearing essence, making it perfect for those seeking a bit of good fortune in their daily lives.
Mica, currently leading HECK!’s production team, commented: ‘It doesn’t astonish me that this tradition is widely embraced; I understand it’s an age-old custom and the forecast predicts good weather if a firework is buried and the sun shines all day. We had a wonderful day on Roddy’s Grandad David’s farm.’
As a lifestyle enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that, drawing inspiration from timeless traditions, I’ve crafted an exquisite wedding sausage recipe. This delightful creation is now set to grace tables during the upcoming wedding season, as it transitions from my kitchen to yours.
As a seasoned cook with decades of culinary adventures under my belt, I find myself drawn to the timeless charm of the humble sausage. The long circular shape, tied at one end, evokes images of tying the knot in a traditional wedding ceremony, symbolizing a lasting bond, much like the one that good food and family create.
Expanding: ‘We plan to make it available for brides who wish to uphold the tradition, or prefer to have it served during their special day or at their wedding reception.’
Regarding her encounter with Roddy, who she now has two kids with, Mica shared that he won her heart by regularly providing her with a sausage sandwich at work. They tied the knot in our local church and enjoyed a traditional bangers and mash meal for their wedding dinner.
Europe boasts some unique wedding customs, one of which is the German tradition of ‘sawing the log.’ After the wedding ceremony, the newlyweds, still adorned in their finest attire, collaborate to literally saw a piece of wood in half as a symbol of teamwork and harmony, preparing them for a successful marriage.
In Hungarian weddings, it’s customary to have an amusing tradition known as “the bride auction.” During the reception, the bride is symbolically “auctioned off” by placing her in a figurative market where guests can bid on a dance with her. The highest bidders (those who contribute the most money to a common pot) get their chance to dance with the bride until the groom tries to reclaim her.
In Finland, much like other cultures, the bride is playfully ‘abducted’. To secure her release, the groom is challenged to complete amusing feats – this could involve dancing or spontaneously composing a poem for his newly-won spouse.
European customs, including those in Scotland, sometimes involve friends whisking brides (or grooms) away a few days before the wedding for a ‘dirt ritual’. The idea being that surviving this public humiliation will make future marital issues appear insignificant. It’s quite fascinating how across Europe, there seems to be a tradition of symbolic bride kidnappings!
In Belgium, it’s customary for brides to receive a handkerchief adorned with their name, which is then embroidered. This handkerchief is traditionally handed down from one female family member to another upon marriage. Each newly married woman has her name added to the collection of names on the handkerchief.
At a Spanish wedding, the groom’s friends symbolically bestow him with good fortune by tearing his tie into fragments, which are later sold in an auction.
At their weddings, Norwegian couples learn about the number of children they might have by attempting to pull apart a traditional cake called a Kransekake. The number of layers successfully removed in one try symbolizes the potential number of their future children, with up to 18 layers possible.
In the Czech Republic, newlywed couples are required to complete an unusual task: they must wrap themselves in a blanket and try to share a single bowl of soup using only one spoon. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that no spilled peas stain their wedding attire!
One of France’s least enjoyable wedding customs, albeit quirky, involves an ancient chamber pot. In this tradition, friends of the newlyweds fill this container with assorted alcoholic beverages, and the couple must consume the contents entirely before they can depart the venue at the end of the celebration.
As an enthusiastic follower, I’m thrilled to share that HECK is providing a unique opportunity for the first 10 fortunate brides during the August wedding season! It’s their special ‘Bride’s Lucky Sausage’, a thoughtful gift from the company. To enter, simply prove your upcoming wedding by sending an email to sausages@heckfood.co.uk or visit their website at www.heckfood.co.uk for more details. Let’s hope I get lucky too!
