- Huge an engagement party
- Rehearsal dinner
- Rehearsal/practice wedding
- Marriage vow
- the wedding takes few days to over a week (rehearsal this and rehearsal that, ceremony plus the wedding feast.)
- The bride and groom has to dance the waltz
Finnish wedding:
- The couple announce to their family's that their are getting married. The man don't ask permission to that from anyone.
- Small an engagement party
- NO Rehearsal dinner
-NO Rehearsal/practice wedding
- NO Marriage vow
- Small wedding
- The actual wedding takes few hours (ceremony plus the wedding feast)
- the best part to all of us who has two left legs, the waltz isn't necessity.
We get married once, we don't practice that. so if something goes wrong, it will go wrong even if you had practice that before. It's more like adventurous in that way. No, honestly you don't get so much stressed out, when you know that you don't need to practice this. Besides the marriage with the person you love is the main point, not the wedding. You can get married in barn if you like, if the person is the right person.
In Finnish wedding the bride and groom says only 2 words: "I do" Everything else comes from the priest. You can't say anything else when the priest asks:"Do you...take...?" You can't say something like:
"jep"
"oukki doukki"
"Why not?"
"If you say so"
"You wouldn't ask that if you would seen her in..."
"Do I? Let me think..."
"This isn't the line where I can sign in to the...?"
"Me...her...(little bit laugh)...yeah, right"
Just simple two words and that's it.
I know that many of you (my readers) think that we are not serious when we get married. We are. We want to keep it simple. Because the marriage is the point, not how much you can put money in the wedding. It's not that stressing when you can keep things simple.
