As we know, each country has its own customs, culture and lifestyle. Of marriage, people from different places have their wedding in different ways. I'd like to introduce five classic marriage customs in the world.
Indian customs of marriage: the aim of marriage is to offer sacrifices.
It seems to Hindus that the primary purpose of marriage is to perform religious duty. The sacrifice is the most important one. But men are qualified for offering sacrifice only when they have children. Therefore, the bridegroom and bride need to pronounce charms, pray and swear. What's more, the bride should definitely tell the bridegroom that my purpose of marriage is to get a son. The priest and others will bless them for this.
Denmark customs of marriage: having a wedding in secrecy.
After a few busy days of preparing for marriage, but the Dane holds their marriage in secrecy. It is very strange! They have a wedding in secrecy because the happiness would arouse the anger and jealousy of evil spirits. At the end of wedding celebration, they will move a jar of bear to garden. The bride and bridegroom hold the upper part of the jar and the wine jar is smashed to pieces. All the girls of marriageable age pick up those pieces. The girl who pick up the largest fragment being destined to be the first one to get married, and the girl who pick up the smallest fragment being fated to be single during her life.
The Germany customs of marriage: it is a auspicious symbol to broke bowls and basin.
Each guests coming to the wedding should bring broken bowls, basins, bottle and so on. And they heavily throw it on the ground. It said that this way could help the couple to put the annoyance aside and meet sweetness. They could become lifelong patterns with passionate love.
The Russian customs of marriage: complaining on the wedding
Someone in the wedding will shout "bitter-tasting, bitter-tasting". The bridegroom and bride will stand up and kiss each other once they hear the shout. This kind of shout will last a dozen times because Russian thought that wine is bitter-tasting. But the kiss of bridegroom and bride can sweeten the wine.
Japanese customs of marriage: the traditional Taoism
At the ceremony of traditional Taoism, people enshrine and worship Kami. The priest asks the gods to bless the new couple. At the end of ceremony, the couple should drink three cups of wine. The bridegroom takes the first cup and drinks a sip of wine for three times and then turns to the bride. The bride turns to the relatives and friends after drink in the same way. And then the bridegroom drinks the second and third cup in the same way.
In modern society, we noticed that more and more young men are disposed to have a wedding in church and girls like to wear white bridal veil. No matter which kind of ceremony they choose, wedding is the happiest time in our life for all of us!
