What is the custom of getting married?

"All love without the purpose of marriage is hooliganism" is what Shakespeare, a great English writer, said. The original sentence is: "Everything is aimed at not getting married, and out of love is bullying."

China has had the traditional marriage custom of parents' orders and matchmakers' words since ancient times, and the inheritance of marriage culture for thousands of years naturally has its unique significance. Today, we emphasize the freedom of love, which does not mean that we are irresponsible for our actions in the emotional world.

Marriage customs in various countries

1, Egypt: In Egypt, it is the groom's family, not the groom himself, who proposes to the bride. Many marriages are still the fate of parents and the words of matchmakers.

2. England: Traditionally, rural brides and people attending weddings always go to church together. A little girl walks at the head of the queue, throwing flowers all the way, which indicates that the bride's life will be full of flowers and happy forever.

3. Finland: The bride wears a golden crown. After the wedding, unmarried women danced around the blindfolded bride, waiting for the bride to put the corolla on someone's head. The person crowned by the bride is considered to be the next person to get married.

The bride and groom sat in the VIP table at the wedding reception. The bride is holding a sieve covered with a silk scarf. When a guest puts money into a sieve, the best man will announce the name of the guest and the number of gifts to the guests present.
