This is juist a curiosity thread, but i know that in every part of the world where there is some form of marriage between couples, there are also many traditions or traditional things that come with marriage or must be done.
For example, in more christian western countries like England or America, the bride wears a white wedding dress and the man wears a formal suit (usually in black, grey, navy or brown). Rings are a very traditional part of christain marriages (i wonder where such a tradition stemmed from?) and so is getting married in a church. There are certain things like how the man is not to see his soon-to-be wife in her dress before the wedding, or must even spend the night apart from her.
So what are traditional marriages like in japan and how do they vary from each part of japan (like traditional tokyo marriage is different from traditional osaka marriage?)? What are tradition marriage customs like in your country? Are there any marriage traditions native to japan or ones borrowed from other countries like China?
