      In European Jewish culture, the bride’s mother makes two feather pillows for the couple to symbolize softness and comfort of the relationship.

      never knew all that… but i think it doesn’t even matter.. these are just customs and i wonder if they do anything about the blissful/horrible relationships. It is all between a man and a woman to create a world of there own and live in it.

      Excellent article! I didn’t know many of those customs. How about this one for Welsh weddings?

      “A tradition in Wales, that has been in practice for years, is the carving of a wooden love spoon. A man who wished to marry a particular girl carves various symbols, such as hearts, keys or bells, into a wood spoon, showing his intentions for engagement and marriage.”

      I didn’t recognize the Swedish customs, which is odd since I am from Sweden and have gotten married here. The traditions, if they existed, must be quite old and not practitioned nowadays.

      What kind of crack is the author smoking? I’m 100% swedish and I have never even heard of that weird stuff. I don’t know of a single person who was presented with three rings. Most people have two, engagement and wedding.

      I guess verifying stories is not a requirement here.

      Hey, in some places of the US it’s common to marry your siblings or first cousins. Does that mean the US should have a paragraph about that too?

      The Hungarian stuff is completely wack too! It was true maybe 150 years ago. Other stuff is more important, the tradition of trying to trick the groom into accepting another woman as his bride by bringing out other women dressed as brides with their faces hidden, the kidnapping of the bride after wedding has taken place, the drinking of palinka (brandy) before the wedding ceremony, the singing and dancing, the folk music.

      I’m not sure if the planting of a tree is widely practiced in Germany, but there is a custom that is quite common, especially in Bavaria: the newly married couple get a “baby tree,” decorated with rattles, pacifiers and the like, which they are supposed to place in their garden. If they fail to produce offspring in the year after the wedding, they owe the people who gave them the tree copious amounts of beer. Way to put the pressure on newlyweds!

      I like the Filipino ritual. Nothing emphasizes your upright intentions better than a sticking spear on the front step. ;)

      I am a Filipino and I am very knowledgeable about my country’s customs. We do NOT do what is mentioned above. :)

      Just FYI.

      Some of the customs shown here are just plain looney! I study social customs and the ones shown here are just plain inaccurate!!!
