Halloween is a celebration full of traditions and symbolism. In addition to costumes and the famous "trick or treat", many traditional festival rituals aim to predict the future, particularly related to weddings. For example, in Ireland, a matchmaker cook buried a ring in mashed potatoes in the hope that a person would find true love. In Scotland, young women placed suitors' names on nuts and threw them into the fireplace; the nut that burned instead of exploding indicated the future husband. These rituals were used to seek love divinations on Halloween.
