In Italy, the long celebration begins in the morning and extends into early morning hours the following day. The celebrations include dancing and eating a lot of official rites.
The issue of marriage, as in any other place in the world, begins with a sermon. The custom requires that Abu al-Khatib or his brother go to the father of the bride or her uncle to ask for her hand. The engagement should then be given to the fiancée of the diamond (which indicates the intense love). They believe that the diamond is made from the flame of love, and this ring forms part of the dowry that the bridegroom will pay to his bride.
After that, the bride and her family begin to prepare everything related to their personal needs in the house they will live in, such as mattresses, clothes, and sometimes her husband's clothes.
On the day of the wedding, the bride does not wear any gold until the wedding ring is worn; because (according to their belief) gold worn before or during the wedding will come with bad luck for them. They often Wedding on Sunday in some areas of Italy, , The bridegroom goes on foot to the bride's family, and then escorts her to go to the wedding. As they walk through the streets, people follow them and put in their way some things that have implications. For example, they may put a broom on the ground. You will be a good housewife, and they may put a child and if the groom notices it, it indicates that it is He and his wife will be good fathers, and if they notice a beggar it indicates that the groom is generous and generous ... etc.
When they arrive, the bride enters her and the groom stays out waiting for her. His close friends come to his mother and say, "The bride is late for her bridegroom." This has implications for the bride's lack of love for her bridegroom. Knowing that the groom must be pregnant with the energy of flowers while waiting for his bride, and has dug into his pocket a small piece of iron to keep the envy of him that day, according to their belief.
The ceremony begins with the guests' drinks, after which all the men kiss the bride as a last kiss before her marriage, as well as to make the husband jealous of his wife!
The bride then carries a satin bag for the guests to place envelopes containing the money, helping them to pay for the wedding, which is funded mainly by the bride's family, and then the grandmother or mother guards the purse containing the money.
During the dinner, the food, which is the focus of the ceremony, is served by guests from the bride's family and groom. After dinner, the cake is served with coffee or other drinks.
During the ceremony some friends close to the groom try to sneak into the bedroom to put the itch powder on the bed as a joke with the bride, and may put other things.
In some areas of southern Italy, the husband destroys a vase or a piece of glass vigorously before he and his wife go to the bedroom, trying to turn the vase into as many pieces as possible because the number of pieces will indicate how many happy years the couple will live.
