Korea

While many Koreans prefer Western-style weddings in which the bride wears a while wedding dress, some couples are still carrying out the “Pyebaek” – a Korean wedding custom.

The Pyebaek is held after the official ceremony, and is when the bride pays respects to her parents-in-law for the first time. The new couple bow deeply before the parents, and they exchange jujube(枣) and chestnuts(栗子) — symbols for children and good fortune.

Japan

    For Japanese weddings, it’s customary for guests to bring cash as a gift for the new couples. The amount depends on the guest’s relationship to the couple — on average, friends would give $300, and family members may give up to $ 1,000.

The bills should be unfolded, freshly printed. They’re typically put in a special envelops signed by the guest. Guests leave the envelopes at a reception desk at the ceremony and receive wedding favors in return.

Brazil

In Brazilian weddings, the best man cuts the groom’s tie into several pieces and sells them to the wedding guests at whatever price they choose to pay for it. The money that’s collected usually goes toward the couple’s honeymoon.

Brazilian weddings wouldn’t be complete without pastries called “bem-casados”, or “happily married”. These are tiny sweet cakes with a condensed milk (炼乳) filling that are meant to bring good luck to the new couples.
