How to get married around the world
Wedding ceremonies in each country has its own, and each of them can tell a lot about the country and its people. In Bulgaria, despite the many years of the communist system, intolerant religion, Muslims hold bright winter wedding ceremony. In India, Jordan, Japan and China, some wedding - mass to protect newlyweds from poor families from unnecessary spending. Some ceremony is truly extreme, while others are full of traditions, despite years of eradication. And while some are fighting for the right to marry, while others get it after several years of fighting.
