Finland
The most distinctive feature of Finland
weddings is to wear a corolla. At the wedding, the bride was blindfolded and
wearing a golden crown. Unmarried women dance around the bride. Everyone
expects the bride to wear the corolla on her head because it is considered a
symbol of good luck and she will be the next person to marry.
Greece
The Greek bride's corolla is white and
gold, made of flowers blooming all the year round. The groom's Godfather or
groomsman usually wears the corolla for the groom and bride. Greek brides
always hold a piece of sugar in their hands on their wedding day, which
symbolizes the sweetness of life after marriage.
Korea
The biggest feature of Korean weddings is
the presence of ducks or wild geese at weddings. The groom will give ducks or
wild geese to his mother-in-law, which means that he expresses his pure heart
to his mother-in-law and will always be with the bride in the future. In
addition, new couples should also give each other wooden geese or ducks as
promises.
Malaysia
Malaysia's wedding feature is that the
wedding is held in the woman's home, and lasts for a week. The man takes the
bride to the woman's home to receive relatives, the priest chants prayers for
the new couple, holds the new couple's bath ceremony and marriage ceremony,
etc. Seven days later, the groom can return to his home with his new wife and
dowry. When greeting a bride, the man should dress up like a high-ranking
official and go to meet the bride happily with an umbrella. The woman should
show sadness, because she should stay away from her relatives and friends, so
she is in a bad mood.
Mexico
At the wedding ceremony, the couple's
shoulders and hands were wrapped around a large rosary ("lasso"),
indicating their union and protection of marriage. At many Mexican weddings,
before the first dance, guests formed a heart-shaped circle around the newly
married couple.
African-American
African-American weddings feature broom
jumping. The broom is of great significance to Africans because it means the
beginning of a family for newly married couples. In the era of American
slavery, black men and women were not allowed to marry formally and live
together. To announce their love and marriage to the world, a pair of black men
and women jumped over a broom with the rhythm of drums. To this day, some black
Americans hold such symbolic ceremonies at their weddings.
Armenia
Armenians regard pigeons as sacred symbols.
After the ceremony is completed in the auditorium, they will walk outside the
auditorium, and the bride and groom will take two pigeons to set them free
together. They think pigeons are a sign of love and happiness. The bride was
dressed in red silk and had feathered paper wings on her head. People can also
throw coins at the bride.
Belgium
The bride can embroider her name on her
handkerchief and carry it with her on the wedding day. After the wedding, the
handkerchief was framed and kept until another girl in the family got married.
Bermuda
If you attend a wedding in Bermuda, don't
be surprised to see a sapling on a multi-layer cake. Bermuda Islanders insert a
sapling on top of their multi-tier wedding cake. Newlyweds plant the saplings
at home so that they can see the saplings grow up with their marriage.
Bohemia
The groom presented the bride with a rosary,
a prayer book, a belt with three keys (to protect her chastity), a fur cap and
a silver wedding ring. The bride presented the groom with a shirt and wedding
ring sewn with gold thread and coloured silk. Before the wedding, the groomsman
wraps the groom in the bride's cloak to prevent the devil from intruding and
breaking up their love for each other.
