Another Southpaw here. I was always curious because my wife was reading one of those "History of the Wedding" type books. In medieval times a knights wedding was memorable. The right handed soldier would wear his sword on the right side to keep the weapon away from his bride. It was worn to ward off anyone who thought of stealing the bride away. But how many right handers can draw a sword from their right side? That was the books commentary anyways.

I wore my sword on my right side for the wedding, but being left handed I would no problem drawing my weapon to ward off bride stealers.
