Philippine Wedding Customs - A Look On Filipino Weddings

Filipinos, when it comes to marriage, goes by certain customs and traditions that is why Philippine Weddings should be well-planned by the marrying couple.

Some of our country's Wedding Traditions involves actions or tasks that the wedded couple and their families must do in order for the relationship of the couple to blossom. The couple must execute some traditional rituals as we inherited from our local traditions and some from the Spanish colonial era. These customs are slowly being neglected in the current culture yet not totally being gone from our culture.

The actual day of wedlock for example, is a long yet solemn ceremony at the couple's respected religious sector's churches. The place of their marriage tells the sanctity of marriage and tells the couple that they are expected to take care of the relationship and last for the rest of their lives.

Some traditions before the wedding are the “pamamanhikan” and “sukob“. In pamamanhikan, the family of the groom is supposed to go to the bride's family to ask for the hand of the bride from the girl's parents. Some of the wedding details and the plans of the couple after the marriage ceremony are also talked about. In sukob, two sisters are not expected to marry on the same year because it is said to bring bad fortune to both of the sibling's relationship.

Post-wedding customs generally are done immediately after the nuptial ceremony. The reception must be cleaned before noontime because the bride needs to be at his husband's residence before noon for the couple to have prosperity in their companionship.

There are many Philippines wedding customs that we have followed from our ancestors throughout the ages. These customs just show how Filipinos value the importance of marriage.
