Well, I don't think that is a horror at all... The French are obviously very advanced in the art of love... I think ur heritage does u credit and it is a bragging right

During the 16th century, newly married couples in France had to stand naked outdoors while the groom kissed the bride's left foot and big toe as part of traditional customs.
AAWWWHHHHHH the GOOD ol' Days! how I miss them.

I never really need to comment by the time ya'll are done.
If others were there to watch, I probably wouldn't have minded when I got married at age 20. Now, I may be a little more self conscious.

When you consider how infrequently they bathed back then, that's gross! Interesting, but gross.

The French have taught us yet another lesson in life!

Thus the reason everyone in the neighborhood keeps an eye out for the newlyweds who move in next door.

Someone should write a book on "Toe Kissing Can Be Fun" and get those old customs back into this time period. just thinking is all.
