Weddings around the world

A wedding is a very special occasion, and everyone wants theirs to be perfect. But perfection varies from one country to another. Here’s a look at some of the wedding traditions celebrated all over the world.

A. Japan
In a contemporary Japanese wedding, on the day the bride and groom first go to a beauty salon where the bride is often painted white from head to toe. Then they are both dressed. The bride wears a kimono and a wjo and chooses a headdress. When they are ready, the couple proceeds to the religious wedding ceremony. A Shinto priest leads the ceremony, which is followed by a reception. During the reception, the bride changes clothes several times. The three most important parts of the wedding are the drinking of sake, which takes place during the religious ceremony and during the reception, the speeches, and finally, the ceremonial lighting of a candle. Before the religious ceremony, the couple has to sign some state documents which make them husband and wife.
B.kenya
When a young Maasai man takes an interest in a girl, he goes to praise her and puts a chain around her neck. Some time later, he brings honey to the girl’s mother and then he asks the women of his tribe to make beer from some more honey for his future father-in-iaw. When the future father-in-law has finished drinking the beer, the young man states his intention to marry the daughter. After that he brings the family gifts. On the day of the wedding, the groom brings the bride’s ‘price’ three black cows and two sheep. The bride’s head is shaved and decorated with beautiful beads, and she is led to her husband’s home. On arrival, she is blessed with fresh milk and is given a cow of her own. She wears her wedding beads and clothes for three more days, then puts on her usual clothes, and finally, the bride and groom are husband and wife
C.Mexico
A Mexican wedding ceremony traditionally takes place in a church. Family and friends play an important role in the tradition. A close family member or friend is chosen lo carry the lasso, which is a traditional, decorated rope that is placed around Ihe couple’s necks while they say their vows. Another person carries 13 coins which symbolize the joint finances of the couple. One woman is chosen as the person who will always help and advise the bride. Other relatives and friends carry wine glasses for the wedding toast. At the reception, which follows the religious ceremony, Ihe guests take part in the ‘money dance’, where they dance with the couple and pin some money on their clothes. The newly-weds then use this money to set up their new life together.
D.Morocco
in Morocco, the wedding ceremony typically lasts several days. A group of older women called negaffa play an important role in preparing the bride for her wedding day. First, they give her a purifying bath, and then they decorate her hands and feet with floral and geometrical henna designs to bring good luck. Black make-up is applied to her eyes and she is dressed in her richly decorated wedding dress and heavy jeweLlery, On the wedding day, plenty of delicious food is prepared and men and women sit separately, chatting and eating snacks while they wait for dinner to arrive. Guests can only start eating their dinner after the bride and groom have visited their table to break the bread. Before the bride becomes the mistress of her new home, she has to walk around her new house three times.
