Another Greek tradition tells that the bride should wear in her wedding day<\/strong> a sugar cube in order to have a sweet life and happiness or ivy as a symbol of eternal love and happiness!<\/p>\n

A traditional wedding includes even celebrating the official engagement. In the day of the ceremony, the groom asks for the hand of his beloved from her parents. The best man accompanies the groom and the bride at the church and next to the priest he has an important role in the ceremony.<\/p>\n

Her places on the heads of the bride and the groom a crown made of gold and it wraps around it a silk ribbon. For the rest of the day the bride and the groom are going to be treated like queen and king.<\/p>\n

\"Greek

The wedding party is between one of the most important events and it can be celebrated all night long. The most well known tradition related to the Greek people refers to smashing plates and this gesture is definitely one that brings good luck and happiness.<\/p>\n
