How do you convert from men’s to women’s shoe size? Our friend below who commented is correct….there is a difference of two sizes. So a men’s five would be a women’s seven. That was an easy one!

What is the meaning behind tying shoes to the bumper of the car a bride and groom rides in on their wedding day? This answer comes from www.libride411.com. The site says, “We tie shoes to the bumper of the newlyweds’ car because shoes have always played a role in weddings since ancient Egypt.  The bride’s father would hand the groom her sandals to show that she now belonged to the groom.  In medieval England people would throw their shoes at the couple and their carriage.  If the shoes hit the couple or the carriage it was considered good luck.  Today, we see it to be a better idea to attach the shoes to the car rather than throw them at the couple.” I am so glad the throwing of shoes and hitting them on the head for weddings has changed!!

See ya Monday!!
