Everybody n this world will get married. Now I would like to tell you marriage culture in 4 traditions.
1. In Roma (or Gypsies), the brides have incorporated some
sort of leap over a broom into their wedding traditions. Enslaved men and women would declare their union by jumping over a broom
together.
2. In Jewish weddings, the groom crushes a
glass under his foot at the end of the ceremony. Some hold that the broken glass is a reminder that joy should always be
tempered, with wedding guests calling out "mazel tov!"
(good luck!) after the glass shatters.
3.Traditional Zulu weddings are marked by vibrant
colors and dance-offs between the bride and groom's families. The unique thing is, the groom's family
slaughters a cow to welcome the bride and the bride places money in it
stomach to symbolize that she is a part of the groom's family now.
4. Russian grooms have to work hard for their brides.The groom come to the bride house to ask for his beloved. The bride's friends and family refuse him until he pays up
in gifts, money, jewelry or simple humiliation. Grooms are forced to do
silly dances and other silly things until the groom impresses friends and family and allow him to meet his
bride to be.
