Today's couples often look to the past , in order to bring a unique , personal touch to their modern day wedding celebrations . By showcasing wedding rituals and practices seen throughout the world .

you can be inspired by different world wide rituals so that you can celebrate your special day in your own special way .

"Spain"

in Spain the bride wears orange blossom in her hair as a symbol of fertility . the groom offers the bride thirteen gold coins as a sign of his future protection and to bear witness to his willingness to take care of her .

The strangest tradition in chinese wedding is the bride's dress color !!!! it is Red .

In some regions th pplin the village would set up a sawhorse a log and a double handled saw , the bride and groom must saw the log apart with prompting and cheering of the crowd . when the job is finished and the log cut , this demostrates their partnership in love nd marriage .

Portugese wedding receptions typically involve traditional music and a lot of dancing while guests exchange stories about the bride and the groom . the ancient custom of passing the brides shoes around to all the guests to recieve monetary donations that will help the couple set up their new home is still maintained today and guests eagerly join the festivities and participate in this ritual . Traditionally there will also be a money dance where the bride's shoe is passed around the dance floor as young (and not so young) men pay for the privilege of dancing with the bride .

I don't like short wedding dresses. I think they are not appropriate for a church ceremony... and it's utter bad taste for a bride (at least a Catholic one) wearing a short dress. It's like screaming to the guests: "Heeeey, Look what you're loosing!!"

Anyway, just my opinion...
