Speaking of wedding jokes that aren’t funny, what the heck is this?

I understand that people are looking for unique wedding ideas and ways to show their creativity but come on.

I don’t know whether to laugh, cry, or say a prayer.

If you are a 40 year old man and you marry an 11 year old are you considered a pedophile? Or do you get a pass depending on what country you are from?

I’m just asking…

“US photographer Stephanie Sinclair is the winner of this year’s ‘Photo of the Year’ competition presented by the German National Committee for UNICEF. Ms. Sinclair’s photo shows a wedding couple in Afghanistan. The groom, Mohammed, is 40 years old and the bride, Ghulam, is still a child; she has just turned 11.”[Source]

A few months before my wedding I was pondering how other brides feel when they are about to get married. In general do they feel excited? Or is it a mixture of being nervous and excited? Or it is just a laid back attitude? I guess it all depends.

LoversLawn has a list of Wedding Customs From Around the World. I especially like the Sweden customs.

“The mother of the bride presents her with a gold coin and places it in her right shoe while the father places a silver coin in her left shoe, to ensure that their daughter will never be poor. The groom however presents her with three gold rings - the engagement ring, the wedding ring and the motherhood ring”

While the Filipino custom is a little scary…probably because I am accident prone.

“The groom throws a spear onto the front step of his bride’s house to let everyone know about the intended marriage.”
