Marriage Traditions Around The World (Part I)

As today is Sunday, I decided to come up with some interesting post. It shows you how each country celebrates the wedding day with their own and unique, yet special rituals. Some are weird and strange but some are romantic and beautiful. Let's take a look at the cultural wedding traditions in different parts of the world!

a) Pakistani Wedding Tradition
A Pakistani bride's hand are adorned with henna during the mehndi ceremony a few days before her wedding. The henna is meant to bring good luck to the marriage.


b) Korean Wedding Tradition
A Korean bride and groom wear traditional wedding clothes. The custom of the bride wearing a hanbok and groom wearing gwanbok dates back 2,000 years.



c) Moroccan Wedding
Moroccan brides wear an elaborate kaftan and heavy jewelry. The bride and female guests decorate their hands with henna.



d) Scottish Wedding Party
Male guests wear traditional Highland outfits of kilts, jackets, and hose to weddings in Scotland.



e) Yoruba Wedding Tradition
In a Yoruba wedding in Nigeria, the groom and his friends prostrate themselves to the bride's family before the bride is presented under a veil.



f) Bolivian Wedding Tradition
In Bolivia, a wedding party enjoys a meal next to Lake Titicaca. The bride and groom's heads are doused with confetti and flower petals after the wedding ceremony.


















Okay, that is all for now, I will post more in Part II next time.
