10 of the Most Bizarre Wedding Traditions in the World
Crying, China
In the Chinese Tujia ethnic group, brides must cry for an entire hour every day for a month before the wedding. Plus, they’re also expected to cry at the ceremony. What’s even more bizarre to tourists and foreigners is that once the bride completes ten days of crying, her mother joins in, and then her grandmother joins both of them after another ten days.
As the month of crying comes to an end, all the women and girls in the family join the crying. This act demonstrates how happy and joyful the bride and female family members are. It may sound like a song to some people since the women weep in various voice tones.
