Why Southern Brides Bury A Bottle Of Bourbon A Month Before Their Wedding Day
Now I drank a bottle of bourbon and buried myself in my bride-to-be about a month before our wedding.
Didn’t stop rain on our wedding day but sure made for good times…
If that aint country..

Fake news. Must be something CNN came up with.

I've lived in the south my entire life and I have NEVER heard of this
Same here, but half my family are Baptists, and they would never touch a bottle of bourbon.
The other half are cheap drunks, and they would never waste even a drop of alcohol.
I’ve buried many bottles in my back yard, but they’ve all been empty, and I’ve done it to hide it from my wife.

Shitheads have taken over Popular Mechanics, GQ, and Mens Health. Loved all of those magazines but it's pure garbage now.

I’m old, and I’ve never heard of it, and I thought I’d heard them all.

Been in Alabama for 50 years, never heard of it

Never heard of this crap in my life.
Did a quick Google search; oldest link is from 2011 from a site called "southernweddings.com". They use the old trope, "Southern folklore says..." and claimed it may have started in Kentucky or Tennessee.
Sounds like a case of self-developed content, which thanks to the internet, one person picks up on, then another, then everyone from Cosmopolitan (2013) to whiskyriff.com (2017) to now Southern Living (2022) has picked up on it as "Southern folklore says".
Also sounds like a rip-off of the house-selling/realtor tradition of burying a little plastic statue of St. Joseph UPSIDE-DOWN in your garden to help sell it. THAT is a real thing going back to at least the early 1990s, probably earlier. Church supply stores and even Ace Hardware.com can confirm:

The only thing Scruffy likes is that it gives the wife new recipes.
And no one in the south is going to waste a perfectly good bottle of bourbon for this.

I had my wife's grandmother who just turned 90 tell me a few years ago not to dig in the garden on Good Friday because the "ground would bleed." Had never heard of that either...but I heard of THAT before burying bourbon.
How then are we supposed to plant parsley on Good Friday??
Because of THIS old wives tale, I often plant many of my spring herbs on Good Friday before I go play services.

Honestly never heard of it until I moved here 8 years ago, I’m convinced it’s a NC/SC/GA thing tbh lol
I’ve known others here who have done it as well. Made sure not to use an expensive bottle In case we couldn’t find it

I don’t know how but this sounds racists.

I'm from Louisiana and have never heard of this.
Also have no idea what Hoppin John is either. Sounds like voodoo.
We do serve black eyed peas, cabbage, and cornbread every New Years Day. (We also serve greens, but that's just because I like them better than cabbage)

This is just what happens when you leave women unattended. They come up with more and more stupid shite that is “tradition” so it gives them something extra to have to do and complain about.

Exactly. This is another gimmick for the kind of people who spend hundreds of thousands to have their weddings at some outdoor venue just outside of town that was carefully constructed to look like an old barn.
Southern Living, Texas Monthly, etc, all cater to wealthy transplants trying to out-local the locals.
