Weddings Around the World

Weddings traditions is not just the ceremony, throw the bouquet, and the first dance; there are many different customs around the world, some of them are really strange; for example, In China the bride's family hire a "good-lock" women to take her during the travel from her house to the groom's in a sedan chair; In Germany newlyweds should clean up piles of porcelain dishes that the guess threw on the ground to scare away any evil spirits; in Greek the groomsmen shave the groom and his new mother in law feed him with honey and almonds; in Czechoslovakia an infant is placed on the couple's bed before the ceremony to bless and enhance their fertility, also the guess throw them rice, peas or lentils; in Pakistan the bride's sister and female cousins stole a groom's shoe and if he wanted back he has to paid for its safe return. As these there are many more extrange weddings traditions, but finally everything all have the same end shape a new family.
