Armenian traditions

Armenian people love a good celebration, and weddings are among the most enjoyable of all. Preparations begin with the groom asking the bride’s parents for her hand in marriage and continue through a whole slew of traditions, such as a playful ransom being paid for the bride and plates being smashed by the newlyweds before they enter their home. From rituals to dancing to delicious feasts, Armenian wedding traditions are full of joy and laughter.
