Wedding Customs: Argentina, Colombia, and Korea
Diana Naranjo from Colombia In
Colombia, when a bride gets married, she wears a
long white dress at her wedding. At the party, all
of the bachelors put one of their shoes under the
bride's dress. Then, the groom chooses just one
shoe. The man whose shoe he chooses will be married
next.
Mariana Aguinaga from Argentina In
Argentina, it is very common when a girl is going
to get married for her grandmother to give her a
ring, the same ring that her grandmother gave to
her on the day of her wedding. The ring is often
handed down in the family from generation to
generation to bring her love and happiness during
her marriage. She has to keep this ring all her
life because if she loses it, her marriage will be
over. Kim Young Lee from Korea Many
young people get married western style in Korea.
That is, women wear a short dress, and men wear a
new western suit. The bride throws her wedding
bouquet back over her shoulder, and the girl who
catches it is the one who is going to get married
next. TOPICS
