What are wedding traditions?
Wedding traditions are the ceremonies, music, meals and visits communities develop around marriage.
Origins, forms and everyday life
Engagement, invitations, henna gatherings, ceremonies and gifts vary by region, family and belief. Couples do not all choose the same practices; traditions adapt over time. Cost, expectations and family relationships also shape choices.
Meaning, change and safeguarding
Descriptions should respect participants’ consent, diverse ways of life and variation within families. A practice should not be presented as a mandatory rule for an entire society.
