If you answered (B) Roman, you answered correctly.   You see in the Early Roman wedding tradition, brides carried a bunch of herbs, made

from garlic and or rosemary, (later came the orange blossom)  under their veils which was a symbol of fidelity and fertility and to ward off evil.

Today instead of using the herbs, today’s brides use the modern bridal bouquet.
