The Jump into Marriage - A Curious Custom in Alnmouth, England
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Achille Beltrame, we are transported to the quaint village of Alnmouth, England. The image captures a unique tradition that takes place after a wedding ceremony - the bride and groom must jump over a bench placed by the local fishermen in front of the church door. The atmosphere is filled with excitement as guests gather around, clapping and cheering for the newlyweds. Dressed in traditional white attire, the couple stands at the threshold of their new life together. Surrounded by a crowd of friends and family, they prepare to take this symbolic leap into marriage. This charming custom reflects both luck and good fortune for their future union. As they jump hand-in-hand over the bench, cheers erupt from all directions. The children present join in on the joyous occasion, adding an element of innocence and purity to this age-old tradition. The picturesque church gate serves as a backdrop for this momentous event. Its architectural beauty blends seamlessly with nature's vibrant colors provided by blooming flowers nearby. Beltrame's skillful use of color lithography brings out every detail in this scene - from intricate clothing patterns to expressions of delight on each face present. This artwork not only captures a specific cultural practice but also celebrates love and unity within communities like Alnmouth. Through "The Jump. . . in Marriage" we are reminded that traditions hold immense significance in our lives; they connect us to our past while shaping our future journeys together as couples and communities alike.
