There are some wedding customs and superstitions in the Hmong culture. The Hmongs are one of the sub-groups of the Chinese Miao people.
When the bride leaves her parents’ house right before the marriage ceremony, she mustn’t look back. It’s believed that this can bring bad luck.
Another interesting ritual demands that the bride gave all the gifts received from her ex-boyfriends or fiances to an elderly woman, who will destroy or throw away these things. This is a way for the bride to forget about all other men and build a life together with her husband.
