After the wedding the bride would toss the bouquet over her shoulder towards an amassing of prospective woman and men. It is believed that whoever catches the bouquet is the next in line to be married. This practice may be related to the Golden Apple of Discord myth where, in Greek mythology, a golden apple was rolled into a wedding celebration by Eris, goddess of discord. The attending goddesses Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite saw the apple and began to quarrel over who it was intended for, with the recepient of the apple being known as the "fairest" of the three.
