Ethiopian Ceremonies
A wedding is the ceremony in which two people are united in marriage
or a similar institution. Wedding traditions and customs vary
greatly
between cultures, ethnic groups, religions, countries, and
social classes. Most wedding ceremonies involve an exchange of
wedding vows by the couple, presentation of a gift (offering, ring(s),
symbolic item, flowers, money), and a public proclamation of
marriage by an authority
figure or leader. Special wedding garments
are often worn, and the ceremony is followed by a wedding reception.
Music, poetry, prayers or readings from Scripture or literature also
may be incorporated into the ceremony.
The Wedding procedure starts with the groom's side sending a
representative who requests the marriage between the parties. Then an
appointment is given and a verdict on the marriage is given. Before the
wedding the Dowry is given as agreed. On the wedding day the groom and
three or four "bestmen" go to the wife's house. At the house the wife's
family and friends ceremonially block the entrance to the house. The
associates must sing strongly and force their way into the house. The first bestman holds perfume and sprays everywhere inside the house.
