since early roman times some grain has been associated with the wedding ceremony. wheat, a symbol of fertility, was carried in the bride’s hand or worn around her neck.

(b) as the bride left the church, grains of wheat were tossed at her, and young girls rushed to pick up the grains that had actually touched the bride.
(a) during the reign of queen elizabeth ⅰ, wheat was no longer tossed at brides but was instead baked into small cakes that were then crumbled and tossed over the bride’s head.
(c) this change in ceremony left the wedding guests feeling deprived, since they had nothing to toss at the bride. since at that time rice was cheap, clean, and white, it seemed a good substitute for the more expensive wheat cakes.

(c)의 마지막부분에 당시에 값싼 쌀이 밀가루 과자를 대체했다는 얘기가 나오는데요 이부분의 내용파악이 애매해요. 쌀이 어떤것과 대체된 것인지 알려주세요

(c) 첫부분 이러한 변화라는 것은 앞내용의 밀가루 과자를 으깬 조각을 신부에게 던졌다는 이야기이고 과자로 던지다보니 신부에게 던지지못한 손님들의 박탈감을 없애기위해 그뒤에는 값싼 쌀을 던졌다는 이야기인가요? 아니면 (a)의 작은 과자(케잌)가 값싼 쌀과자로 만들어졌다는 이야기인가요?
