Once upon a time.
From this beautiful tale comes the bridal shower as we know it today. . .Legend has it that once long ago in Holland, a young Dutch girl fell in love with a poor miller. Her rich father opposed the marriage and threatened to withhold her dowry if his daughter went through with the wedding. So much in love, the couple married anyway, but her lack of dowry left them practically penniless. The townspeople took pity on the miller and his young bride, and showered them with gifts for the couple's household. The girl's father was so ashamed when he saw the kindness and generosity shown that his heart melted. He bought a house for them and threw a feast so that everyone could celebrate. And they all lived happily ever after.
