honeymoon destinations kenya
The world is full of different traditions and interesting wedding ceremonies. Sometimes they make us laugh, sometimes make us mourn. But always follow them, at least, most of the time. Why is that? Where's the catch? I think the catch is in our beliefs. Because every ceremony and tradition has its own meaning symbolizes something that we like and we want to happen. So when the newlyweds are followed, will have a long life and very happy and smooth.
So some brides and grooms to cut wood, other plant trees together – only to be happy forever. Who will deny that? But not only the newlyweds are following the ceremonies. Also people who attend them. Some throw rice syrup to the bride and groom, some throw flowers. Poor newlyweds!
But there are still some traditions that make us laugh. In Hungary, for example, the wedding day the bride puts her shoes in the middle of the room. Men who want to dance with the bride has to put money on them. This tradition is called "money dance". Still want to dance? In Vietnam, the groom's parents organize a party for the wedding and the bride's parents, to organize another. I do not know what you do if you are a friend of both families. The family goes to the first visit? What choice! In Wales there is a tradition called "a knot". A girl and a boy are tied with a rope and sent to bed. Is supposed to loosen the knot in night in case you do not want to marry each other. But if the knot is still there tomorrow, will be declared husband and wife. Just for a moment imagine that he could not handle to loosen the knot. What a coincidence! It was not easy being a girlfriend in Germany.
Days before the wedding day the bride had to prove to the neighbors your sewing skills by showing the things prepared. I'm thinking how lucky I am, because if I had to, there is nothing to show. At least, there will be nothing good to show. Another German tradition is that guests should be invited weeks before. So far so good, but if they made a mistake and lost someone, you will regret it all his life. If you live longer, as this was accepted as an insult, and people who were not invited could not even take revenge. A beautiful perspective! That reminds me that in Kenya before the wedding ceremony Massai boyfriend has to give a lion's skin to his girlfriend as a gift. But this is not the fun part. The fun part is that you must kill the lion himself. No wonder he has to give this before marriage. If he manages to survive!
