Hello there everyone. Have been away for a really long time now. Its good that candle monk provides a notification of our progress and drawback.  Recently there have been a lot of marriages and not jus in India but around the world. With weddings come the several traditions and customs that we have to follow. Because of the diverse nature of our society there are several traditions in all kinds of communities. I went through some and though of sharing some fun and interesting traditions with you all. 

Joota Chupai: Asking for money in exchange for the groom's shoes is normal for us, but it still qualifies as a bizarre wedding tradition in other countries. What is more bizarre is the fact that sometimes those juthis cost way less than the price that is being asked to the groom.

It only happens in Sweden: It is a tradition in Sweden that if the bride leaves to use the bathroom all the ladies line up to kiss the groom. And if the groom leaves then all the men in the room line up to kiss the bride.

That's how French do it: Charivari is a centuries old custom that requires family and friends to gather outside the newlyweds house and start pounding pots and pans. The couple then serves drinks and nibbles to everyone.

South Korean weddings are harsh: In some South Korean weddings, groom's feet are beaten by dead fish and bamboo sticks to prepare him for the first ight of his marriage.

Scotland coupes deal with some filthy stuff: Family and friends shower the coupe with all kinds of filthy stuff before tying them to a tree. This is to show that the couple is ready for everything. Yes, it is a ritual!

Maasai weddings in Kenya: There is tradition in Kenya that requires the father of the bride to spit on the head of bride and breasts before she leaves with her new husband. Spitting is a symbol of good luck and fortune in Maasai culture.

Crying practice for Chinese women: Tuija people in China welcome a good marriage or event by crying. The brides have to cry everyday for an hour for a month before their wedding

Weddings in Borneo: Ya I know I said seven but here is a bonus one. The bride and groom of the Tidong community of Borneo are confined to a house and are not allowed to take a dump or even pee for three days and three nights.

Hope you might have read something new today and might have also either been in a shocks or grossed out. Don't worry I had the same expression;) 

Thankyou🌼
