American weddings usually include up to 100 guests, while in Latin America, weddings are huge – 400 guests and even more. The thing is, Latin couples have to invite every single relative or they will be offended. It means they have to invite cousins, second cousins, third cousins, those people they call cousins who aren't actually blood related, and so on. And also, neighbors, co-workers, close and not really close friends, parents’ friends, acquaintances, etc. So, Latin American weddings are large and cheerful, while wedding in the US often are fancier.

In the Middle Age period, it was a normal practice to marry little kids, especially when we’re talking about the royals. Children could be wed even when they were 5 years old and younger. Such marriages were made to create alliances and increase the wealth of the family. Of course, these young brides and grooms didn’t perform marital duties yet. They were raised in the royal nursery or by the court members until they were mature enough, which was around shocking 12-14 years old. Often, a grown man married a little girl, and rare husbands waited until their young brides got 15-16 years old before consummating their marriage.

This is a curious wedding tradition of Peru. At the wedding, they bury two small dolls that represent the bride and the groom. The dolls are wrapped in cocoa leaves and are buried with a seed of a tree. The locals believe that this seed will grow and the couple’s love will grow with it. Also, it’s a great way to plant new trees, which always is a good thing.

After the wedding reception, the newlyweds went into a chamber to consummate their marriage. It’s awful but the royal couples often had to do it with witnesses observing the process, including the priest or other clergy. The heirs were the most important thing for any royal couple, so the witnesses had to make sure that the king and queen physically were able to have sex and that the bride was a virgin, which was proved by the bedsheet. Only some royals were able to avoid being watched during their first wedding night.

Absolutely. At least if your wedding costs you more than $7-8,000. Backyard micro weddings don’t need any insurance. But if it’s a bigger event, think about your risks. There are so many mishaps that can happen during a wedding, so you will feel much more relaxed if you buy insurance. From bad weather ruining your open-air celebration to tipsy wedding guests getting hurt (for example, someone may step into a mole hole or an uneven ground and get a sprained ankle or someone may get a sunstroke, etc). And there is no wedding venue stuff who would help you with any issues, everything falls on your shoulders. So, if you’re organizing a wedding by yourself, always protect your risks. Besides, wedding insurance isn’t that expensive.

Vietnamese grooms often prefer a traditional male Ao Dai outfit for their wedding. They wear dress pants or traditional trousers under the robe. The robe itself is made in the same style as the women’s garment but a bit looser and shorter. It reminds us of a long jacket or shirt (only with a specific collar) but brightly colored.

When you’re having a backyard wedding, you need to think about restrooms for your wedding guests. There are two options: to let them use the bathrooms in your house (which some owners don’t feel comfortable to do) or rent restroom trailers (a wide variety of them is available and the cost is around $1,000) and put them in the yard. Note that you need 1 restroom for about 35-50 guests. So, make sure there are enough toilets and sinks for everybody so that your wedding guests didn’t feel miserable standing in a long line.

Bridal showers are mostly for girls – a small party for close friends and relatives where you discuss your future wedding and the married life. Some grooms aren’t really interested in a traditional bridal shower, with all those ladies presenting lingerie to the bride, sexy jokes, discussing the details of a future wedding, and other girl stuff. So, you can organize a dude corner at the wedding shower where guys will be able to gather and talk about the topics interesting for them. If the couple has a wish list of presents for the shower, it’s great to add there some useful manly gifts, like tools, BBQ items, and etc so that men could separate from the girls and examine these presents.
