Fun marriage ideas from around the world
The wedding ceremony is surprisingly rich with a variety of fun and interesting things that can keep you busy for hours. I had never considered that a topic that I thought I was familiar with, could be so much bigger than I ever would have imagined.
Wedding ceremonies have undergone amazing changes that would never have considered a few years ago. We are all familiar with the “normal” way that weddings are usually handled, but there is such diversity now days, particularly in the last 10 to 15 years. There are now people that look at weddings unlike they ever have before, and it can be seen in the wedding ceremony. For example, I recently read an article and saw a video of a couple performing their wedding vows underwater, in full clad SCUBA gear.
The way wedding vows are perceived has undergone some very revolutionary changes The well known recitation of the wedding ceremony was known to the extent that much of the wedding vows were already known by the attendees. However, this scene is becoming a lot less familiar, as people do not feel the necessity of exchanging wedding promises in the presence of a church congregation. It was rarely considered that a couple would prepare their own wedding vows, but today all of that has changed and has become fairly commonplace. Sometimes these are quite romantic, or inspirational and in the spirit of the traditional wedding. In fact, one may wonder if there is really a life time commitment being forged at all. There was a recent wedding where a celebrity football star made a convincing argument that loving his new bride more than football is not a fair question because they are not the same kinds of love,”
It makes you wonder what a woman would think in a situation like that.
Then there are the differing cultures in which marriages are initiated. There are in some cases very interesting aspects to the weddings of other cultures, and in other cases there are things that might seem very odd.
And then there are curiosities about custom. One interesting throwback is the bridal shower, where it is thought to have derived in the case of a young bride-to-be who had no dowery. Her friends would “Shower” her with gifts to make up for where she was lacking.
These are all interesting tidbits, but there is more. Even wedding flower arrangements are affected by custom. There is so much in the way of thought provoking, inspirational, funny and weird that we couldn’t resist making a website about it all.
