Hey, Hey Waffle gang, I do hope you are well. My name is Mark and today we're checking out some more relationship stories.

And if you do love a Reddit story, why not consider him that like, subscribe, maybe that notification bell too.

Let's crack on with today's first story, which comes from Anxious American Bride and says,

Kidnapping the Bride Tradition. Hi, my 24 female am in the process of wedding planning.

My fiancé's 24 male side is Scottish and they have many different traditions. I learned one

today called Kidnapping the the bride. His cousin explained that

a few days before the wedding, a few of my fiancé's relatives and friends were going to take me

to a pub and would stay there until my fiance found me. They said it's a bonding experience

where I hang out with his family and friends and my fiance can bond with mine as they try to find me.

His cousin is a bit of a prankster and is more familiar with the town my future in-laws are from.

My fiance lives in America but makes several visits to Scotland to visit.

We're getting married in Scotland since he has all the relatives that couldn't travel to the States.

I never heard of this tradition before but when I looked up, the best I could find was a version in Germany.

The only Scottish tradition that was similar included covering the couple in food as a joke.

I asked his grandmother about the last one and they said that they would never do that one.

I'm worried his cousin will purposely choose a pub hard to find or pull a prank on me where

I'm there.

Has anyone else heard of this tradition?

Is it common?

If so, what happens during it?

It sounds harmless but have an anxiety disorder and the idea of being alone with his friends

and family for hours without him scares me.
