Wedding customs of the peoples of the world

Wedding customs of the peoples of the world
 Every nation has its own national traditions and customs related to virtually all aspects of life, including such a solemn and joyful occasion like wedding. From the point of view of Russians, many of these practices may seem ridiculous, insensitive, even cruel.
 In rural areas of Spain is still a popular vintage wedding custom. After the wedding ceremony at the young husband and wife is a real hunt begins. The crowd literally chases on the heels of unhappy bride and groom, breaking into the room where they had taken refuge. The purpose of this action - do not give them easy to spend their wedding night. If the young husband and wife can not catch, begins the most brutal part of the show: they are seated on a donkey, backs to each other, bind tightly with rope and carry on until dawn the streets under the mocking mocking cries.

In some East African tribes living on the territory of Somalia and Kenya, are still in the course of a wedding custom. After the wedding ceremony, the young wife, left alone with her husband, desperately resists, not giving him a master. If we consider that women in those tribes, from childhood accustomed to engage in the hard work, not only slim and flexible, but also very strong, and the body of the bride before the ceremony grease, the wife of a difficult task! But the cunning Africans are turning to the most powerful friends or relatives that keep young wife giving her husband the opportunity to perform the conjugal duty.

And some tribes in West Africa, for example, in Nigeria, the bride is bound to be very stout, well-fed, as it is considered an indicator of health and well-being. Therefore, as soon as the parents of the young people agree about the wedding, the bride begin intensively fattened. Unhappy girl literally forced to eat as much high-calorie food, while strongly limiting its mobility. Truly brings to mind the word "broiler"!

If the look of the bride after such a diet like the future husband and his family, the marriage ceremony is performed. And as a sign of the beginning of the joint family life newlyweds simultaneously jumping over the broom. But even such tests pale before suffering borne by the groom from another African tribe "because." Since asking the girl's hands, he is proof of his courage and endurance should run between the rows of her many relatives who struggled beat him with sticks. Ran without falling and did not utter a single groan, welcome to the family! Immediately played the wedding. Failed the test - so no luck.
