International Wedding Traditions (Middle East) A Persian tradition is the Sofreh-ye Aghd, a luxurious spread (cashmere, satin or silk) traditionally passed from mother to daughter. On this spread is placed a mirror and two candelabras representing light and fire. It is at this mirror that the bride removes a veil covering her face and the groom is able to see the reflection of his wife-to-be. In addition a tray of seven herbs and spices are placed on the spread: poppy seeds, wild rice, angelica, salt, nigella seeds, black tea and frankincense. Their intent is to protect the couple against evil eye, witchcraft and drive away evil spirits.
International Wedding Traditions (India) Weddings here tend to be multi-day affairs involving many elaborate ceremonies, such as Mehndi, the practice of painting intricate patterns on the bride’s extremities. The purpose of this is to make the bride feel like a princess as she begins her new life.
International Wedding Traditions (France) Chiverie is an after-wedding tradition in friends and family of the newly married couple gather in the evening and clang pots and pans, ring bells and blow horns with the intent of startling and interrupting the couple. Upon hearing the noise, the newlyweds come out, still in their matrimonial attire and provide the tormentors with refreshments.

International Wedding Traditions (Mexico) For Trece Monedas de Oro, during the wedding the Groom bestows his bride a gift of 13 coins, or arras, representing Jesus and his 12 apostles. The coins are to be blessed by the priest and bear the groom’s promise to care for and provide for his wife.

International Wedding Tradtions (Ireland) In the old days, couples dined on salt and oatmeal at the beginning of their reception: the bride and groom would take three mouthfuls to protect against evil eye. During the reception, when the couple is dancing, the brides feet must remain on the floor. It is said that Fairies love beautiful things and their favorite beautiful thing is a bride. If the bride was to have even one foot off the ground, then she could be swept away by the Fairies.
Int’l Wedding Traditions Germany has a tradition that involves shattering a lots of dishes before the wedding and the bride and groom clean it up. It is believed that the action of cleaning up the mass collection of broken dishes, which the family and friends have worked so hard to make, will help prepare the couple for their new lives together.
