Speaker 1 (00:00):
We're talking about weird wedding traditions because our boss went
to a Vietnamese wedding and he had to pick up
the pig in the morning.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Not too sure how that all works out. We were like,
what do you I send him memes all day and
there was one that I send him with Miss Piggy
with her head out the window with one of those
fan driving a car. Yeah. It was fun.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Yeah, And I just shared that a barley sort of
ceremony and we had a duck peck rice off our heads.
This one. Here's one in Sweden. In Swedish weddings, if
the groom leaves the room or the male guests are
allowed to kiss the bride, and if the bride leaves
her seat or the female guests can line up and
kiss the groom.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
I want to go get married.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
There sounds fun.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
It's actually an orgy.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
What's going on? They're all so happy this week? All right,
let's go to peg from Pippermum. What's a weird wedding
tradition you've seen?
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Look, I used to work with the Scottish guy and
he went back to Scotland to marry his childhood sweetheart.
And when he came back. He showed his photos and
there was photos of the bride and she was just
from top to toe kind of dirty black, and they
were dragging her through the streets and they were throwing
flour and everything out of and I'm going, what was
that all about? And it's a Scottish tradition apparently, where
(01:17):
if you've got to do that to the bride because
if she can get through that, then her marriage will
be a breeze through the street. They paraded through the
streets and everyone sits there and throws things at her.
It's almost like a scene from what is it called.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Game of Thrones. Yeah, when they get the balance shame, yeah, shame.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
But they're laughing and they're throwing things at her. She's
filthy from top to bottom. And I said what do
they do that for? And they said, well, if she
can get through that, she'll get through her marriage without
any problem.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
What if you have second thoughts out the street. I
can't get through it. I can't get through this exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I'm trying to google what it is. But this is
another Scottish one. It's called the wedding scramble. As the
bride steps into the car, the father throws a handful
of coins believed to bring financial good fortune, and all
the children scramble and collect it. That sounds a bit
nicer than what.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Yeah, then flower and stuff getting thrown. So that's not
on the actual wedding day, is it that she gets?
Speaker 3 (02:23):
That's a couple of days before the wedding and then
she gets, then she gets when she gets married on
the day, but she ends not.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Yeah, it's called the blackening.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
It's called the blackening.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I found it three wedding ritual done in the Highlands
and rural bits of Scotland. The blackening is where a
groom or bright are taken out in public at the
back of a truck and dowse in a range of
unmentionables treacle, flower, feathers, cussed fish, ducks, fish cuts, cow dung,
anything goes.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
So if you're a Scottish girl, the first words that
come out of your mouth after you've been proposed to
is would you like to go to balley to get married? Yeah?
Because I hear they only pick you on the head
with a duck.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
That is hilarious. All right, let's go to add him
from a rundel. What sort of wed wedding thing have
you seen.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Okay, Well, so on our wedding day, we had a
beautiful day. It was such a funny day. But they
say that if it rains or if the thunderstorm happens
on your day, it's actually God applauding the marriage.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
So we had a.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Beautiful ceremony, a great day. Right at the at the
final part of the day when we did our you know,
acceptance of the marriage, we had a thunderstorm. Yeah, the vows.
We had a thunderstorm, and the thunderstorm was only why
we're actually doing the vows. And straight after the wedding
(03:50):
it was beautiful, and they say that that's God applauding
the actual marriage and acceptance of that marriage. And we've
been now married seventeen years. On the twenty second of
September this month.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Happy anniversary. I was so hoping that you were going
to say. And then we got.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Divorced on a rainy day.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
No divorce. It was a beautiful afternoon, luckily for us.
But you know, we've now I've been married seventeen years,
got two beautiful children, and gone through a lot of
stuff through our lives. But we're both stuck together.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
You know this might surprise you, but on my wedding
day there was really thick fog and I don't know
what that.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Means, but you're not married anymore.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
I'm not married anymore.
