Did you know? “As part of some Scottish wedding traditions, the groom would break a freshly baked piece of shortbread over his bride’s head. If the shortbread crumbled into several pieces, the marriage would be fruitful. In Shetland, it was traditional to break a decorated shortbread over the bride’s head as they entered their new home together. This would bring good luck and a happy marriage. Today, shortbread is often used as wedding favours in Scottish weddings”
