Ever get tired of the basic wedding
traditions like the bouquet toss or garter grab? Well
check out some of these interesting wedding traditions found all over the
world!
Let’s take you to Germany first, where
housekeeping is important right from the get go. Guests throw dishes on the ground to ward off evil spirits
that might be lurking. The couple is to then clean up the dishes together
learning the valuable lesson that working together allows them to face any
challenges that are thrown at them.
If housekeeping is not your thing, how
about entertaining your taste buds? Newlyweds in Russia share a type of
sweetbread called karavaya, which is said to bring prosperity and faithfulness
due to the wheat and interlocking rings. The partner that takes the biggest
bite without using their hands is said to be considered the head of the family.
Last but certainly not least is the traditional
Camel dance from Niger. In West Africa a camel is brought to the reception in
the desert and dances to music while being surrounded by wedding guests getting
their groove on as well.
Hope you enjoyed all these new traditions! Stay tuned for more blog posts!
