Attending a wedding in a foreign country is a really great
experience. I learned how a wedding is different in from different countries.
It was my first time to fly abroad for a wedding. This has a very special place
in my heart since most of my relatives from different parts of the world agreed
to go to my cousin’s wedding in Geneva, Switzerland. It was indeed a grand
reunion for our family. I was so happy that I was part of this experience and I
will not trade this for anything in the world.
It was
also the longest wedding I have ever been to. The mass started at 3 in the
afternoon and then ended at around 5 in the afternoon. After that we had some
cocktails for about 2 hours. Then the dinner started at around 7 in the
evening. We had a sit down dinner which consisted of a 5 course meal. There
were so many programs during the wedding. There were presentations from the
friends of the bride and groom. My family also presented a Filipino Folk dance as
a gift to the bride and groom; we were also dressed in Filipinianas and Barong
Tagalog. The Europeans were so thrilled at our presentation and wished that
they would have also presented something like that. After all the
presentations, dinner and cake cutting, the dance party started at around 1 in
the morning and the wedding ended at around 3 in the morning.
Going
to a destination wedding is a way to celebrate the love of one another and it I
s also another excuse to travel to a different place and experience another
culture. This experience was definitely an affair to remember since
it has changed my perception and view of life and love and I would not trade
this experience for anything else in the world. I hope to experience other weddings
in other countries because it will change your view of different cultures,
religions and social classes around the world.
Travel Tips:
Respect the culture
Wear appropriate attire
Make a budget and book 6 months in advance to save money on your
ticket
Make new friends
Have fun.
When buying gifts; ask the bride/groom if they have bridal
registry. In order to travel light cash can also be a good wedding gift.
Wedding traditions and
customs vary greatly between cultures, religions, countries and social classes
