Wedding custom around the world (7)


Ukraine1):A mock2) capture of the bride is carried out at wedding receptions to remind everyone present of the many times their homeland was invaded. Instead of cake, Ukranian couples share korovai, a sacred wedding bread decorated with symbolic motifs3) that represent eternity and the joining together of two families.

Scotland:Friends carry on an old good-natured custom:they wash the feet of both the bride and groom, preparing them to set off on a new path. The sword dance, similar to an lrish jig4) of a Highland fling, si usrally performed at a Scottish wedding gathering.

Sweden:The bride may place a silver coin from her father in her left shoe;a gold coin from her mother in her right shoe, so she’ll never do without. Her shoes are unfastened-symboliaing easy childbirth in the future. Swedish wives wear three wedding rings:for betrothal5), for marriage, and for motherhood.
