My parents were required to see the minister that married them before for couselling/discussions about their marriage.
Speaking of traditions...there is a Canadian trdaition (or at least from what I can tell it's Canadian) that if the guests at the weddinging clink their glasses with their cutlery then the bride and groom have to kiss.
My dad was the MC at my cousins wedding (the one from Va Beach and whose marriage lasted 6 months) and he was talking about this with the groom, and he had never heard of this.
My dad brought it up at her wedding and it was done...once. It was very tasteful. The problem with that tradition is that it can get out of hand. People do it every 5 minutes and it gets irritating.
My friend who is planning her wedding right now said she'd do it, but only once or twice. After that she said people who tapped their glasses were getting a beat down, lol.
I think wedding traditions are very interesting, even if I personally find some a little odd or outrageous...who am I to judge. But there definitly is a difference between tradition, and greed.
