The first moment when the bride and groom see each other is an unforgettable one. If you tend to be superstitious, you know that people say it is unlucky for the groom to see his bride before the ceremony. Modern young couples may think that the old tradition is silly, and choose to see each other before their ceremony begins. Taking pictures before the ceremony is very practical, but some feel like it takes away from the romance of the ceremony.

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!
