Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In the more traditional Filipino weddings, what do the cooing couple release during the ceremony?

Answer: Two doves

A traditional Filipino wedding sees both the bride and groom release a dove during the ceremony. This is said to symbolise a peaceful and harmonious married life together. One hopes that as the doves fly away, a one-in-yer-eye mishap doesn't occur. Still, if it does, a little birdie pooie landing on your head is said to be quite lucky, and means that wealth is coming your way.

It is unknown where that belief originates.
2. A traditional Japanese wedding sees the bride and groom taking three sips of which beverage during the ceremony?

Answer: Sake

Taking three sips of sake during a traditional Japanese wedding ceremony is known as san-san-kudo. After the young couple do their sipping, their parents follow suit. This not only bonds the happy pair together, but also their respective families.
3. Ah, trust the Germans for a sensible approach to their traditional wedding ceremonies. What do the bride and groom have to display at this time?

Answer: Their ability to saw a log in half

The German tradition of sawing a log in half during their marriage ceremony serves the purpose of displaying to the wedding guests that the young couple has the ability to work together and deal with any difficulties in their forthcoming life together.
4. The Scots have a really peculiar tradition the day before their wedding ceremonies, of taking the bride and groom out and covering them with what?

Answer: Treacle and feathers

This ceremony, for want of a better name, includes adding flour and ash to the mush as well, and all carried out by otherwise normally quite sane family and friends. Its purpose is said to banish evil spirits and bring good luck.
5. In traditional Korean wedding ceremonies, what does the groom have to give to his new mother-in-law?

Answer: A wild goose

This traditional wedding ceremony feat of endurance is to symbolise to the groom's glaring mother-in-law (who probably lives in a very small apartment) his life-long commitment to her daughter.
6. This is a rather lovely and spiritual ceremony. A traditional Mexican wedding ceremony sees the bride carrying two bouquets. For whom is the second one?

Answer: The Virgin Mary

The Roman Catholic faith is very strong in Mexico, with a 2010 census revealing that 83 per cent of the population follow that religion. And in the traditional Roman Catholic religion, Mary, the virgin mother of Jesus, plays a prominent part. People pray to her for guidance and to intercede with the Lord on their behalf. So, during a traditional Mexican faith, the bride, who carries two bouquets, leaves one on the altar to do homage to Mary.
7. This traditional wedding ceremony in Kenya is not so appealing at all. As the young couple leave the village, what does the father of the bride do?

Answer: Spits on her head and chest

By western standards, that's a pretty gross thing to do. However, this is part of a traditional wedding ceremony in Kenya, so we shouldn't criticise if we live in another country. Spitting on his daughter's head and chest by her father as she leaves the village with her new husband is said to protect her from any ill fortune.
8. Ugh, this lesser known wedding ceremony from France sees the young couple having to eat leftovers out of what?

Answer: A toilet bowl

This particular traditional wedding ceremony is known as La Soupe. It involves gathering up all the leftovers at the wedding feast, frog legs, snails and all, and mixing them up in a toilet bowl - one most earnestly prays not a used one - from which the bride and groom must eat to ensure good luck for their life together.
9. Traditional South African weddings have the parents of the young couple carrying which heart-warming gift to the home of the honeymooners?

Answer: Fire from their own fireplaces

In this South African traditional marriage rite, both sets of parents carry lit logs from their own homes to the home of the newly married couple. There, the bride and groom, to honour the memory of their own happy childhoods, light the fire in their new home together for the first time, thus creating the first of their own happy memories as a couple.

Another tradition associated with South African weddings is that of tying the hands of the couple together with a rope made of grass, to symbolise their union.
10. This is one "traditional" wedding ceremony that is dubious, so take it with a grain of salt. Supposedly an old tradition in Australia, what do guests have to hold in their hands during the ceremony?

Answer: Stones

Guests at these so-called traditional ceremonies are each given a stone and asked to hold it while the rites are being performed. At the conclusion of the ceremony, all stones are then put in a container for the young couple to keep as a reminder of the family and friends that were with them on that happy day.
