Transcript: How did the Bridal Shower get its name? Once Upon a Time, in a small town in Holland... There lived a young miller, well known and well loved. He was a hard-working fellow, perhaps the most industrious in his community. However... The genereous miller came to the aid of any of his friends who were in distress. He gave out his ... Money, Bread, and flour "Yet such a great friend of the poor was he, that he often found himself one of them" Then, one spring, the miller fell in love with a beautiful young lady. However, her father did not approve of his daughter's love affair with the impoverished miller, whose generosity he did not admire, and already had a prosperous pig farmer picked out for her. The father wanted to prevent the girl from making a huge mistake by marrying the poor miller, and the two argued. Eventually, the stubborn girl got her way Then her father told her that she may as well get a head start if she wanted to be poor in life and refused to provide the traditional dowry for her wedding. However, when all of the miller's friends whom he had helped in the past heard that there would be no dowry, they put it together themselves. The dowry, though not extravagent, was comprised of... a Dutch vase, a few plates, a bit of linen, and a new cooking pot The townspeople gathered with their gifts and went to the bride's home, and then... They SHOWERED her with gifts! And that is how the Bridal Shower got its name His weakness? A soft heart
