So, what are wedding customs in your country? That means, after and before the ceremony, what do you do the rest of the day/night/other time cycle?
For instance, here, guy comes to the fiancés home and brings flowers. Then, her family sends ... someone dressed in wedding dress (usually some ugly, ugly uncle) and the man is supposed to know if it is or isn't his wife-to-be. Well, after he recognizes who actually IS his partner, the couple gets blessing from fiancés parents and they go to ceremony.
After ceremony, owners of the hall the celebration/various dishes are taking place (we usually have weddings inside) welcome you by crushing a plate or a glass and the brand new wife helps the new husband clean all the mess up (because scrap glass brings luck ... supposedly).
There's plenty more, but these are the first few, just to start it up. Me and my fiancé are trying to look into other cultures to find nice things to do during our wedding :-)
