Wedding Plans

A diary of the journey to wedded bliss (as they say), I have found the journey so far, exhilarating, funny, joyful and terrifying. So I'm creating this blog to keep track of all the funny things and decisions I've made on the road to marriage

All around the world

Traditions are what makes things special. Here's a list of traditions from all over the world.

I think ill just stick to the Chinese ones and a few at that point! I don't want the wedding to last a week!

  • In England, the bride wouldn't allow her married name to be used before the wedding for it was considered bad luck.
  • In Finland there are a few wedding traditions (perhaps adopted from other countries) that have become quite popular recently:

    To foresee how many children the newlywed couple will have, after the reception people count how many grains of rice can be found in the bride's hair.

    Another way to predict the number of children: the bride's mother-in-law or godmother puts a china plate on top of the bride's head when the newlyweds begin their first dance (in Finland, it's usually a waltz). After the plate has fallen, the pieces of broken china indicate the number of children the couple will have.
