Wedding ceremonies in each country of their own, and each of them can tell a lot about the country itself and its people. In Bulgaria, despite many years of the communist system, religion is not intolerant, Muslims spend the bright winter wedding ceremony. In India, Jordan, Japan and China, some of the wedding - the mass in order to protect newlyweds from poor families from unnecessary spending. Some of the ceremony is truly extreme, while others are full of traditions, despite years of eradication. And while some are fighting for the right to marry, while others receive it after years of struggle.
