in this world there is absolutely amazing and unusual wedding rituals ...
One of the main wedding rituals in many nations considered threefold repetition.Threefold repetition symbolizes the Holy Trinity, which will protect the newlyweds.For example, in Russia it decided to bypass three times around the table of the young.In Denmark, the three go around the future home of the young.
Another wedding ritual - the so-called "dance of money."This ritual is used in different variations, and in Russia and in the Czech Republic and in Poland, Hungary and the Baltic countries, and in Greece ... In its traditional version, it is that any man who wants to dance withthe bride should pay her for a dance some money.This money goes to the organization for young honeymoon.
In Greece, this ritual is somewhat different - during the banquet, and any movement of all young guests and friends are invited to the wedding, should cling to the clothes the bride and groom money then also go into the general treasury of the family.However, during the banquet, young look very funny.
Another wedding ritual - the definition of who is the head of the future family.In Russia, as we know, this is determined by biting cake specially baked rye - from newlyweds who bite off the biggest piece, be it the chief of the family.The Persians also define it a little differently.During a special dance Young trying to step on each other's feet (carefully stepped on and trampled each other).Whoever first stepped on the foot, and the partner is the head of the family.
and a couple of interesting, and at the same time funny rituals.
In England, there is an interesting ritual test of physical training, but not the groom and the bride.The girl on the day of the wedding church is invited to lift the lid of the chest, which, if suddenly someone does not know quite heavy.If a woman commits such a feat - so it will be a good housekeeper, and if not master - something ... By the way, in the distant past, a girl who could not lift the lid of the chest bride could not marry.Fortunately, it had long been forgotten.
In Germany, too, have the original ritual.So, on the eve of the wedding the bride's friends are hitting the dishes in front of her house, as they call luck to the bride's house.In response, the bride should be invited to tea in gratitude for the efforts and care of her, so to speak.
