FUN FACT

During the Tudor era in England, rosemary symbolised fidelity, loyalty and love, and it was traditional for brides to present sprigs of rosemary to their bridegrooms. Rosemary was added to the wine for the marriage celebration, which was then used to toast the happy couple. Rosemary was so strongly associated with fidelity that if a man was indifferent to its aroma, it was believed that he was incapable of true love.
