Caribbean Wedding Tradition Basics
Caribbean weddings surely do borrow from popular U.S. wedding customs. However, Caribbean heritage draws from African and European tradition, which means they have some customs of their own. Caribbean weddings have many unique elements.
One popular tradition is for the bride and groom to don their very finest clothes, and walk from the home to the church. The point of this tradition is to announce and proclaim the wedding celebration. Community members line the streets, and they admire the couple as they stroll by. Since guests are usually invited by way of word-of-mouth, it isn’t surprising that Caribbean weddings are open to whomever shows up, invited or not!
