The countries of the world are so diverse in their cultures and customs that this could not help but affect their wedding traditions. Many nations have passed down knowledge of omens and customs associated with the creation of a family and the wedding celebration from generation to generation.
One of the brightest representatives of the adherence to wedding traditions is Brazil. Brazilian weddings, like a carnival, give attendees joy, fun and positive emotions. Who, if not the Brazilians know what a real wedding should be?
It is customary in Brazil that several years should pass before binding forever by the bonds of marriage. Therefore, the decision to register a relationship is usually made when the age of lovers reaches the 25-year mark.
Any Brazilian wedding consists of two stages: the wedding ceremony and the official registration of the marriage. The young couple should apply to register their relationship at least one year before the wedding so that they do not make hasty decisions that they would regret later.
How do you feel about being late for your own wedding? For example, in Brazil, it is obligatory for the bride to show up later than the groom, being at least 10 minutes late for the wedding ceremony. Now it is clear why it is customary for women all over the world to be late.
During the church wedding, the newlyweds choose witnesses from among the guests present, usually three witnesses on each side. The wedding cortege in Brazil is usually decorated not with fresh flowers, but with the flags of the country.
Even modern Brazilian weddings are not without old wedding customs, one of which is “Bumba-Meu-Boi. According to this tradition, the groom must try to tame an unruly donkey, as proof of his reliability and ability to solve any problems.
An inseparable part of the process, such as organizing a wedding, is a sumptuous banquet. An original wedding tradition in Brazil is that instead of numbering the tables, they put signs with the names of the country’s cities, which correspond to the place of residence of the guests.
In Brazil, guests give gifts not only to the newlyweds, but also to their parents, as an expression of gratitude for the good upbringing of their children.
During the wedding banquet, the tables are full of gourmet dishes, such as turtle stew or lobster in coconut milk, as well as plenty of fruit, meat dishes and seafood.
Traditionally, the table always includes delicious cookies “casadinos” and the drink “caipirinha,” consisting of sugar cane, vodka, sugar and lemon.
Many newlyweds are happy to go to Brazil, in order to hold an unforgettable wedding of their dreams. As a rule, when selecting a tour and ceremony venue, wedding agencies in Moscow offer outdoor venues on the sea or the territory of hotel complexes.
Any wedding celebration in Brazil does not do without incendiary samba to the rhythms of live music. Brazilians carefully prepare for the wedding festivities, constructing special dance pagodas so that everyone can demonstrate their dancing abilities to the fullest. The wedding celebration continues until the morning and sometimes lasts for several days.
At the end of the evening, the newlyweds leave the celebration without anyone noticing, and the guests continue to have fun. Upon returning home, the man carries his beloved over the threshold in his arms. After that, according to Brazilian beliefs, the newlyweds are considered family.
