wedding rituals
from around the world

Marriage is a daily choice and not a one time event. It is not about having each other tied together, but to choose your partner every day. The couple acknowledges this by exchanging a flower necklace or any other item of their preference.

The couple prepares a wedding drink by combining two wines into one. The drinking of the combined wine signifies the commitment two people make to live their lives as one family and symbolizes the idea that marriage is also meant to be fun.

The couple receives gifts from their chosen godparents and godmothers. Each gift is related to a specific category that involves self-love, abundance, happiness, and good wishes. They can also be accompanied with words from the person delivering it.
