才子佳人必看!各國婚禮習俗大全 Wonderful Weddings around the World
來了解不同文化的婚禮傳統。

文化之窗

        For many people around the world, June is the month for weddings. In most places, it’s the start of summer, when the weather is nice, but not too hot. For most weddings, the bride’s and the groom’s families get together to throw a party. Friends, relatives, and neighbors are invited to celebrate the new  couple. However, besides the party, many different cultures have their own unique traditions.

        Typically, the groom is expected to ask the bride’s father for permission to marry her. In Fiji, there’s another unique part to this step: a whale’s tooth. A tabua is a sperm whale’s tooth presented to the father of the bride. However, tabuas aren’t only for marriage; they can also be used for funerals, births, and apologies.

        In India, one wedding tradition, known as Joota Chupai, requires the bride’s family to steal the groom’s shoes! The bride also gets a mehndi, a kind of temporary tattoo. Usually, this is painted on the bride by someone already in a successful marriage. Not only does the mehndi look beautiful, but it’s also believed to bring good luck.

         來了解不同文化的婚禮傳統。

對世界上的許多人來說,六月是結婚的良辰吉時。在許多地區, 六月是初夏時分,天氣舒適,而不會太熱。對多數的婚禮而言,新娘和新郎的家庭會聚在一起舉辦派對。朋友、親戚和鄰居會受邀慶祝這對新的佳偶。然而,除了派對外,眾多不同的文化都有著他們的獨特習俗。

         通常,新郎被期望要向新娘的父親請求娶妻的許可。在斐濟,這步驟還有另一個特殊的部分:一塊鯨齒。塔布阿是贈予新娘父親的一顆抹香鯨牙齒。然而,塔布阿不只被用於婚禮;它也用於喪禮、慶生和表示歉意。

         在印度,有一項稱作藏鞋的婚禮習俗,新娘的家庭必須偷走新郎的鞋子!新娘也會紋上曼海蒂,一種暫時性的刺青。通常,這是由已經擁有成功婚姻的人畫在新娘身上的。曼海蒂不僅看起來美麗,人們相信它也能帶來好運。
