One of the most amazing things about our world is how the same action or tradition can be implemented so differently in each culture. Take marriage for instance; it's practiced around the world but the way a wedding is celebrated varies immensely across cultures.
Rather than wearing hand jewelry, in India it's traditional for the bride to spend hours getting mehndi, paint made from henna, intricately painted on her. While it requires a lot of patience, the results are a beautiful work of art that lasts roughly two weeks on the skin. Interestingly enough, mehndi is actually painted onto the bride for its medicinal properties. It's meant to help calm the bride while dealing with the stress of the wedding day.
If you attend a wedding in Norway, you'll love the cake for two reasons. For starters a traditional wedding cake, called a kransekake, is created by placing iced almond cake rings on top of each other to create a cone shape. Even better? In the center of this hollow cake, you'll find gifts, like a bottle of champagne or wine. Another fun tradition is that the bride and groom pick up the top ring of the cake. It's a legend in Norway that how many layers stick to it underneath are the number of children they will have.
A traditional Peruvian wedding cake is assembled with ribbons poking out of the side. Each ribbon is attached to a charm but one has something more — a fake wedding ring. If you're the single lady served the wedding ring-filled slice of cake, it's thought that you're next in line to get married.
In Romania, if the bride is nowhere to be found, it doesn't necessarily mean she got cold feet and ran off. In fact, it's tradition for the bride to be “kidnapped” by friends and family before the wedding. To get the bride back, the groom has to pay her ransom with acts such as buying a round of drinks or displaying romantic gestures.
