Thanks Nan,
As usual, very enlightening. The only Roman wedding terminology I've been previously aware of was the word "Talassio!", shouted by onlookers to the wedding procession.
Our 9th-grade Latin teacher reluctantly told us it meant "Ho for the wedding bed!", which set off dirty little guffaws among us students of the pre-Wonder Years. And nobody even considered then that "Ho" could mean something bad...
