I would also like to tell you about a wonderful tradition. This ritual is called a "bride price". Early the next morning the groom is going near the
bride's house. Their goal - to take his bride to the church, and the bride's relatives keep them pass. Relatives happy to have different tests. Most
comic. For example they need to drink a bucket of water to get the key at the bottom.Or the groom and his friends have to answer questions on various
comic at each step the bride's house. For example, when they met, when he proposed to her when her birthday, what ring size is a bride. And the more
difficult questions: what was the name of her parents, grandparents, what was her nickname at school, as its moniker first dog. If the groom is
wrong, then he must pay for his mistake with money. This is usually done amused guests and friends of the groom. Thus, sometimes generous guests left
a considerable sum, which then goes to the budget of a young family.
At the wedding as guests invited to vote - who will be the first born, boy or girl. To do this, all guests in a circle give the baby blue and pink
tights. Who wants a girl puts money in pink tights, and who want first-born - a boy, he puts money into blue tights. Guests have fun - the newlyweds
have money.
As you see Italian wedding traditions are very different.Some of them are very original. Some are ridiculous. Some are very practical.
