Belgium is a very old country, with a fascinating mixture of old customs and modern laws.
Belgium weddings may be performed as a civil ceremony or as a religious ceremony.
Mã đ 803ềPage Seq/5
Traditionally, when a couple in Belgium wishes to announce their marriage, the wedding
invitations are printed on two sheets of paper, one from the bride’s family and one sheet from the
groom’s family. These wedding invitations symbolize the union of the two families and the
partnership of the new union.
An ancient Belgium custom that is designed to unite the two families calls for the bride to
stop as she walks up the aisle and to hand her mother a single flower. The two then embrace.
Then, during the recessional, the bride and groom walk to the groom’s mother and the new bride
hands her new mother-in-law a single flower and the two of them embrace, symbolizing the
bride’s acceptance of her new mother.
One of the most important and enduring traditions of the Belgium wedding is for the bride to
carry a specially embroidered handkerchief that has her name embroidered on it. After the
wedding this handkerchief is framed and hung on the wall in a place of honor. When the next
female member of the bride’s family is to be wed, the handkerchief is removed from its frame,
the new bride’s name is embroidered onto it, and it is passed down. The wedding handkerchief is
passed from generation to generation, and is considered an important family heirloom.
