2. Crying Ritual – China
It’s true that marriage is an emotional time for a bride and her family. How about this custom where they prepare and start crying one month in advance? For the Tujja people in China, the brides have to start crying 30 days prior to her wedding, for one hour every single day. After 10 days her mother will join and after the next 10 days her grandmother and by the end of 30 days, we have a whole family crying loud for 1 hour. According to them, it’s a sign of happiness to hear women crying in different languages.
