Bride’s Blood Experiment
A Bride from Keevil in Wiltshire believes that scientists are correct with their theories about how having a large wedding can make people closer to their friends and family and secure relationships. To further her beliefs, this Bride asked some of the wedding party to give blood in order to test the theory!
The theory is that everyone attending the wedding, be they the participants or the guests, will benefit from the emotions and hormonal surges that will be running wild throughout everyone and that this will ensure that the Bride and Groom will have a secure and happy future together.
Linda Geddes and her partner Nic Fleming are both science journalists and they wanted the volunteers to give blood before the ceremony and then another sample once it was over.
Linda’s mum was one of the volunteers along with bridesmaid and best friend, Suzi Dixon who was only too happy to participate in the experiment conducted by Professor Paul Zak from America. Professor Zak confirmed that the oxytocin levels he was measuring were in fact elevated after the ceremony which should therefore confirm this theory.
So while this does proves that everyone at a wedding is in a good mood, thankfully it is not something that should become a necessity at every ceremony!
