In 2016 it\u2019s a gender-neutral game, so anyone can sneak a kiss to the couple!<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>\u2022 Another Swedish tradition sends the bride down the aisle with the financial backing of her parents: a gold coin from her father is placed in her right shoe, and a silver coin from her mother in her left.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>\u2022 In countries like Afghanistan and the Congo, it\u2019s not uncommon to see a frowning bride and groom. Marriage is considered a happy occasion, but with emphasis on solemnity and respect for such a major milestone in life.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>\u2022 Peruvian brides have tons of fun with the \u201ccake pull\u201d tradition: small charms are baked into the bottom layer with ribbons attached, and the female guest who pulls the fake wedding ring is the next to marry!<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<table cellpadding=\"3\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 100%;\">\n<td width=\"650\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wantthatwedding.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/60s-inspired-wedding100.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14125\" src=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/60s-inspired-wedding100.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div style=\"border: 3px solid #b792a3; padding: 2em; text-align: left;\">\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>\u2022 In many German weddings, the couple cleans up porcelain dishes smashed by guests during the reception (meant to scare away evil spirits).

Each night, the bride sits with her mother, grandmothers, sisters, and aunts for an hour, all crying in unison to form a kind of celebratory \u201csong\u201d to mark the occasion.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>\u2022 In other parts of China, it\u2019s customary for brides to wear three distinct looks for their wedding: a traditional embroidered gown for the ceremony, a Western-style wedding dress for the reception, and a cocktail dress for an after party.
