Indian Wedding Celebrations

Celebrated with numerous rituals and ceremonies, Indian
weddings last for days.
The wedding starts with pre-wedding ceremonies, such as the
engagement ceremony, where the bride and the groom
exchange rings.
Then there is the Mehendi Ceremony held at the bride's house,
where her palms, wrists and feet are decorated for the wedding.
On the wedding day, the husband and wife put flower garlands around each other's necks,
which symbolizes the bride's acceptance of her husband.
The traditional wedding is followed by many other traditions, such as for example, stealing the
groom's shoes. The bride's sisters play a trick by stealing the shoes once the groom has entered
the wedding tent, so the groom must bribe them in order to get his shoes back.

New Year
In China people eat eight, ten or twelve dishes of food at New Year. This is because an even
number means double the luck. A lot of the food at New Year has a special meaning. Seaweed
means good luck and long noodles mean long life. They eat whole vegetables and don’t use
knives to cut things, because this means the end of your good luck. In Russia there is lots of food
on the table so the next year will be happy and plentiful. At 11.59 people open champagne and
wait for the clock to strike twelve. Then they make a toast for the New Year. They wish
everybody good luck and happiness. In Spain people eat twelve grapes – one with each chime of
the clock at midnight. This brings good luck for the next twelve months. But it is difficult to eat
twelve grapes in twelve seconds, so people usually have a mouth full of grapes at the end!
