10 of the Most Bizarre Wedding Traditions in the World
Bread and salt, Russia
At a Russian wedding celebration, the parents greet the newly married couple by offering them bread with salt. This tradition represents hospitality. The bride and groom take a piece of bread, put some salt on it, and feed one another.
It is said that the one who could take the larger piece of bread is going to the head of their future love nest. Finally, all guests are given a piece of the wedding bread (karavai). This is very similar to the popular wedding cake tradition.
