There are interesting similarities in the way people have celebrated marriage around the world throughout history, but there are also some striking differences. One thing they all have in common, however, is that it is a time of great rejoicing for everyone and the second is that people come together to witness the public commitment of two individuals. At a wedding, for once in life, the purpose of all is the same. A fervent hope for the continued happiness, protection and success in life for the ones getting married is at the bottom of everyone's heart.
Marriage is the time of greatest giving for people in all cultures anywhere in the world.
There are no Uncle Scrooges present at the tying of knots. And there is no other social event that carries the same excitement and consequence and that raises people's hopes and aspirations for the future as much as a wedding. Forgetting the solemnity of the moment people gathering at a wedding ceremony know in their hearts what a bonanza of happiness a marriage can be. The hope of everyone is that those getting married will be able to enjoy it to the fullest.
