Blog Entry 8 - Marriage Traditions
As a matter of fact, every country on this earth has the habits, tradition, and ritual difference in their community. In spite of all traditions, I figure out the most interesting of all traditions is marriage traditions. Marriage traditions become my favorite to talk because some of marriage traditions, the ritual preparations can be very unique, bizarre, romantic, somehow crazy and excited.
Of the many marriage traditions from all over the world; there is marriage tradition that catch my attention, that is marriage traditions of Rome. In Rome, there is a marriage tradition that called kidnap the bride, this tradition allows you to kidnap the bride. However, you can't kidnap all the women that you want; there is another rule you should follow before abduct a woman, that rule is you only capture a woman who really loves the candidate companion. If within 3 days of the kidnapped woman was not found by the woman's relatives and family, that woman becomes the legitimate wife of the kidnapper.
this is a fake history...
