In Nagoya, Japan, there is an interesting way of celebration for wedding.
Before newly marring couple go to wedding reception, some of their relatives climb up a roof of their house
and throw many sweets to people who gathered around the house for celebration.

Hi! for the first allow me to introduce myself! My name is irman. I come from Indonesia. I want to introduce about my Traditional Wedding ceremony in West Java. By the way have yoo know before about my country, Indonesia. Indonesia has many culture in all off province.
Ok now i will explain about that
Traditional wedding ceremony in West Java have some important process, that is Seserahan, Ijab Qobul, and Saweran.
Now i want to explain about the Seserahan. In the morning the groom come to the house of the bride and then the groom give some present like some equipment for praying (in the moslem religion) such as Koran, Women's praying-veil, and the prayer mat and also money.
The next process that is Ijab Qobul. In this process there happened in the Mosque. The Mosque-official has a duty to marry the bride-groom. He also give some speech for them in order to they can live happines together.
The last process is Saweran. This is an intresting process, because there are many children. The children always follow in this process, because they can get much of money.
I hope you can reply my mail and tell for more detail about your wedding culture at [email protected].
BYE Smile

In China we do not get married in a church. We apply for a certificate and when it is given we have a big feast with freinds after. There will be much drinking. There will be many rude games against the wedding couple.

One game is to make the girl pass a ping-pong ball up the left leg of the husband's trousers and pass it until it somes out on his right trousers leg. She has to have her hands on the outside all the time. We laugh a lot.
