来了解不同文化的婚礼传统。
文化之窗
For many people around the world, June is the month for weddings. In most places, it’s the start of summer, when the weather is nice, but not too hot. For most weddings, the bride’s and the groom’s families get together to throw a party. Friends, relatives, and neighbors are invited to celebrate the new couple. However, besides the party, many different cultures have their own unique traditions.
Typically, the groom is expected to ask the bride’s father for permission to marry her. In Fiji, there’s another unique part to this step: a whale’s tooth. A tabua is a sperm whale’s tooth presented to the father of the bride. However, tabuas aren’t only for marriage; they can also be used for funerals, births, and apologies.
In India, one wedding tradition, known as Joota Chupai, requires the bride’s family to steal the groom’s shoes! The bride also gets a mehndi, a kind of temporary tattoo. Usually, this is painted on the bride by someone already in a successful marriage. Not only does the mehndi look beautiful, but it’s also believed to bring good luck.

来了解不同文化的婚礼传统。
对世界上的许多人来说，六月是结婚的良辰吉时。在许多地区， 六月是初夏时分，天气舒适，而不会太热。对多数的婚礼而言，新娘和新郎的家庭会聚在一起举办派对。朋友、亲戚和邻居会受邀庆祝这对新的佳偶。然而，除了派对外，众多不同的文化都有着他们的独特习俗。
通常，新郎被期望要向新娘的父亲请求娶妻的许可。在斐济，这步骤还有另一个特殊的部分:一块鲸齿。塔布阿是赠予新娘父亲的一颗抹香鲸牙齿。然而，塔布阿不只被用于婚礼;它也用于丧礼、庆生和表示歉意。
在印度，有一项称作藏鞋的婚礼习俗，新娘的家庭必须偷走新郎的鞋子!新娘也会纹上曼海蒂，一种暂时性的刺青。通常，这是由已经拥有成功婚姻的人画在新娘身上的。曼海蒂不仅看起来美丽，人们相信它也能带来好运。
