Wedding custom around the world (5)


Carribean1):A rich black cake baked with dried fruits and rum is especially popular on the islands of Barbados, Grenada and St. Lucia. The ricipe, handed down from mother to daughter, is embellished2) by each. It is considered a “pound”cake――with the recipe calling for a pound each of flour, dark brown sugar, butter, glace cherries, raisins, prunes, currants3), plus a dozen eggs and flavorings4). The dried fruits are soaked in rum and kept in a crock anywhere from two weeks to six months.

Croatia5):Married female relatives remove the bride’s veil and replace it with a kerchief and apron, symbols of her new married status. She is then serenaded by all the married women. Following the wedding ceremony, those assembled walk three times around the well(symbolizing the Holy Trinity, )and throw apples into it(symbolizing fertility).
