Italian wedding AlmondsThe number of sugared almonds should be odd. Most couples go for 5, which represents five important aspects. These are; health, wealth, happiness, fertility, and long life- in no particular order.
CLICK ON PHOTO ABOVE"La Tarantella" (or "the tarantula") is the most frenzied way guests wish the newly married couple good luck. Dancers hold hands and race clockwise until the music speeds up, and then they reverse directions. The tempo and direction continue to change until the group succumbs to the speeding music
Italian Wedding Traditions
The Flowers? In Italy it is the usual custom for the groom to buy the flowers for the wedding day. However, although the groom pays for the flowers the bride and her bride’s maids still choose the type of flowers and the overall color scheme for the big day. In the northern provinces of Italy it’s also traditional for the groom to hand a bouquet of flowers to the bride as she arrives at the church on the wedding day.
