There’s a (mostly obsolete?) tradition in American marriages where a husband will literally pick up and carry his wife across the threshold of the doorway of their home the first time they enter it as a married couple.
I’m not entirely sure what it’s supposed to mean – but it does really emphasize that crossing of a line. The fact that from now on, there’s something new. An old way of living has past and a different chapter is starting.
What’s going to happen after that? Well, possibly a lot of looking back at that last chapter, which is what happened to the people behind these anonymous confessions.
