Preparatory
Course
This ritual symbolizes the partaking of each-other's secrets
by the prospective bride and groom, as they unveil to each-other
the minutest details of their lives and swear by the Holy Bible
that they have not concealed anything about their lives. Apart
from this, they are also required to corroborate that they have
been baptized.

Bachelor's
Party
This
is the celebration of groom's last night as a bachelor, since
thereafter he will cease to be one. The would-be groom, with
his Best Man and other pals, drinks and enjoys himself. Prior
to drinking, a toast is raised as a custom. Since bachelors
are assembled and drink together, this ceremonial party has
an ambience of great pomp and festivity. The spirited friends
sometimes break their glasses after the party in enthusiasm.
The
event has a festive feel to it with the women singing traditional
songs. |
