Cultural Confusion?

Have you ever been invited to a wedding of a different religious or cultural background than your own, and wondered what the proper etiquette is? Well thanks to a recent article by the New York Times, "Different Rules for Different Cultures: Be Prepared," we can all brush up on our etiquette on attending these weddings. After reading this article you will now be that much more familiar than the others and won't gasp when you attend a traditional Persian weddings, and the bride is asked twice if she will marry the bridegroom. He doesn’t get the yes until he presents a gift, often of coins or jewelry.

I think I need to adopt some of these traditions for when I get married, gifts and jewellery from the groom on the wedding day...I'm keepin' him!
