Generally, weddings in Spain look like other weddings in Europe. There are however curiosities.

A hen night is calm, usually takes place in restaurants, while a stag night is more crazy, because men „kidnap” the fiancé, dress him in compromising costume and take him away to another city.

The celebration has four heroes – „Padrinos” or father of the fiancée and mother of the fiancé. A fiancé with his mother wait in front of the church for the fiancée who arrives with her dad.

Birthdays in Spain don’t different from birthdays in other counties in Europe. They’re spent with family and friends. There are gifts, cake, music.

On Thursday, a young couple go with their family and friends to a registry office to get married. On Friday, the young couple arrange a polterabend for friends, when all the guests break glass and plates for good lucky. On Saturday there is a church weeding. The young couple go to the altar without maids and the best man.

After leaving the church, the young couple are showered with rice. In the afternoon guests drink coffee and eat a wedding cake. The first dance is waltz. After the weeding, the young couple has a wedding night. Three days after the weeding, they go on a honeymoon.
