Wedding traditions across the globe have their own unique rituals. Recently, a video of a ritual from Nepal went viral online. The instagram clip shows, how a bride and groom got in an intense but playful fight during their marriage ceremony.
The short video starts by showing the bride and groom sitting at the mandap dressed in ethnic-traditional wedding attires. A few moments later, as the couple began the ritual of feeding one another, they ended up pushing and pulling each other roughly.
At the end of the video, the groom is seen smiling as the wife forcefully tries to feed him first. People in the ceremony seem to try and stop the couple from getting into a full-blown fight. On Instagram, the clip has gained more than 70,000 likes. It has received mixed reactions from netizens.
A person wrote, “What on earth is happening here?” Another explained, “This is a tradition – more like a competition between bride and the groom on who feeds the other person in the fastest way,” adding, “But they took it too far”.
While, one said, “They could have at least waited till they got back to the hotel to tumble around in front of family and friends,” while a fourth added, “Well, that’s one way to start a lifelong commitment”.
Besides, speaking of unique wedding rituals, last month a man and woman got married 30 years after their death. The ceremony was part of a tradition called “Pretha Kalyanam” or the “marriage of the dead”. The tradition is originally followed in some parts of Karnataka and Kerala, it is conducted for those who died during birth. The communities believe that this as a correct way of honouring their spirits.
