European countries
Despite all the spirituality and culture of Europe, in some countries there are quite strange and funny weddings traditions.
Spain
The Spanish wedding tradition will certainly be out of tune for US citizens who are terribly afraid of the figure "13".The fact is that the Spanish bride and groom must present to the wedding exactly 13 coins "arras", which will symbolize a long, happy and rich family life.
France
Do you find the French particularly romantic? French, maybe yes, but their wedding traditions - not really. The fact is that after the celebration of the wedding, the newlyweds should eat an unusual festive cocktail, which includes scraps and leftovers from the festive table. At the same time, all the "yummy" is not in some beautiful bowl, but in the toilet.

Czech Republic

Finland
Everything here, on the one hand, is predictable: the bride with her friends the day before the wedding should visit the traditional Finnish sauna.

The Netherlands
The Dutch usually put their cork on the wedding night in a bottle of champagne. By this tradition, the life of the young will be long and rich in sexual terms. I wonder what kind of symbolic link this is - it's incomprehensible.
Denmark

Norway
The Norwegian bride must always serve cheese for all guests. This is such a funny tradition, and what will happen if it is not kept is unknown.
Scotland
Before the wedding in one of the villages of this country, the future bride is showered with mud and a mixture of pasta, sauce, sour milk, etc. With such slops, the bride must walk through the streets of the village, so that everyone is sure that the ritual has been successfully accomplished. As the Scots believe, after such a "bath" the future wife will be easier to react to the antics of her husband.
Bulgaria
In this country the bride and groom are sprinkled with figs to make their family life happy.
Albania
In this country during the wedding night the bride does not sleep with the bridegroom for the first three days. So, evil spirits will be convinced that the bride is virtuous. Quite a strange tradition.

As a rule, in Africa, the bride and groom get married at the earliest age - from the age of 13.Usually the couple pick up the parents. Divorces on these lands do not even know - maybe for the better, or maybe not.
Ethiopia
The bride of the Surma tribe in Ethiopia, before the wedding, pierces her lower lip and inserts into her a clay disk that symbolizes the size of the dowry bride. That is, the more, so to speak, the plate, the more dowry. This kind of decoration is only removed for the night or during the meal.
Kenya
Not many will understand the tradition of this people. The bride's father, so to speak, gives his daughter's farewell in her own way-she spits on her breast and on her head. What it means is difficult to understand.
Nigeria

In Nigeria, only women of large sizes like the voluminous hips and buttocks say that the future wife will have many children. The main food ration of the future bride is milk.
Rwanda
In this country, between the young groom and the bride, animals play directly. The fact is that every night for several weeks the wife should scratch and beat her husband, and then - go to her parents. A peculiar tradition, and very. ..
