In India, there are different rituals of marriage on the basis of every state, caste etc. Just like a wedding in India is accompanied by many rituals and customs, so is it in foreign countries. In foreign countries too, different classes of people follow different traditions. But, there are some traditions, which can be quite different according to India. You might find them a bit strange, as you must be seeing in the heading. Yes, there is such a tradition at one place, when all the bachelor boys of the bride kiss. So let’s know where this tradition is followed and what is the story behind it… Here the story is somewhat different. This is a matter of Sweden, where this tradition is followed. According to reports, apart from the groom, many bachelor boys also kiss the bride after marriage in Sweden. It is said that as soon as the bridegroom goes somewhere in the marriage, a line forms near the bride and when the groom is not with her, his friends kiss the bride. It is said that only bachelors do this.
The special thing is that it is not only with the bride, but it also happens with the bride. When the bride separates from the groom on any pretext, the girls i.e. bridesmaids line up there and kiss the boy. This happens with both and the bridegroom kisses the bride when they are alone. Let us tell you that Swedish weddings are often discussed only about this tradition, in which the guests also kiss the bride and groom.
Are there many more traditions?
There are other similar traditions in Swedish weddings, which are quite different. It is said that on the day of marriage, the bride also keeps a coin in her shoes. The bride holds a silver coin in her left foot, given by her father. Apart from this, a gold coin is kept in the shoe of the right foot, which is given by the bride’s mother. This custom is also quite common in Swedish weddings.
