- Blackening_(Scottish_wedding_custom) abstract "Blackening is a traditional wedding custom performed in the days or weeks prior to marriages in rural areas of Scotland.The bride and/or groom are 'captured' by friends and family, covered in food, or a variety of other - preferably adhesive - substances, then paraded publicly for the community to see. Frequently, the couple are driven in the back of an open-backed truck, accompanied by the clattering and banging of pots and pans by the couple's 'captors'. There are no strict rules regarding the act of blackening itself, only that the couple must be rendered messy and uncomfortable, and that as many people as possible should witness the occasion. Blackenings occur predominantly in rural areas of north-east Scotland, the Highlands and the Northern Isles. The origins of the custom are obscure, though these are now the subject of academic study by the University of the Highlands and Islands.".
