Description

We tour wedding traditions from Germany to the Philippines to uncover how rituals shape meaning, connection, and joy. From smashed plates to love doves, we share how to borrow or adapt customs to fit your values without losing the heart.

• Germany’s plate smashing as shared resilience
• India’s shoe ransom as playful family bonding
• Congo’s no-smile rule as solemn intention
• Sweden’s kissing game and consent boundaries
• Scotland’s blackening as honesty about hardship
• Philippines’ dove release as harmony and hope
• How to adapt or create rituals that fit your values
• Respectful cultural borrowing and mindful alternatives
