i read in a book that moms used to meet her daughters and talk with them 1 night before the wedding. What do they talk about?

I have no idea, but a couple of hours before my wedding to my first husband, my dad called my best friend and I into his room and gave us each 3 shots of tequila. He told me, "You'll need this," and handed me the shot glass with a lime. He was already drunk himself. Then he said that before his wedding to my mother, he and his best friend did the same thing, and he wanted it to be a secret tradition. I know he did it with two of my brothers, but I'm not sure about the youngest. I did the same thing with two of my sons, but I never gave them enough to really get drunk.

Some people follow this tradition and others don't. My mom and I talked the night before my wedding just about life in general. We shared stories of my life growing up. We talked about family memories. She gave me a little advice also. She talked about her wedding day a little bit. We had a good time talking together. We didn't plan it at all, it just sort of happened that we got alone time after my sister and dad had gone to bed and my finance was with his friends and brother. I'm sure that if a mom and daughter are to talk it would just be sharing about life in general and maybe advice and memories of childhood.

I think that in days past, a woman would talk about the "facts of life" to her daughter. Obviously, that's not something she'd need to do in today's society!
I would tell my daughter how happy and proud of her I am; how much I've enjoyed being her mom, watching her grow and mature. That I'll always treasure the memories of having her and raising her, and that I hope one day she'll be having a similar talk with a daughter! I'd hug and kiss her and probably cry!
Then I'd probably give her a piece of jewelry for the "borrowed" or "old" possession that's part of that whole, 'something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue' tradition.
What a great question, by the way!!

Way back....long ago....I think this official talk was all about "maritial relations". What the wifely duties were, so to speak. Of course....this is unneccesary in this day and age.
However, it would still be a nice thing to do. Mom and daughter could spend that time talking about the road they have travelled together all these years....and their hopes for the road that now lies ahead.
A lot of potential in this moment....

Never heard of it. Moms talk all through your life.

It was a tradition of instruction on the rights and obligations of a wife.
