…Anglo-Saxon’s wedding customs require

The groom, with the help of his warrior friends (his best men), would steal into another tribe’s camp and kidnap the woman of his choice. His friends covered his back and fought off the other men, he would hold her with his left hand because his right hand was his sword hand. This is believed to be the root of the custom of the bride standing on the room’s left in the wedding ceremony. It was also the duty of his friends to hide the couple so her family couldn’t find her. Because honey and the moon were tied to fertility, the couple drank only honey mead and remained in hiding for one full lunar cycle (twenty-eight days), a honey-moon. By the time they were found, the bride was already pregnant. (Thelin 316)
