8 Strange Wedding Traditions from Around the World

The groom must transform a piece of wood into spoons

Transforming a piece of wood into a spoon is a common courtship tradition found in Wales. According to this custom, a young man who wanted to conquer the soul and heart of a girl had to take a single piece of wood and transform it into a beautiful spoon. After this creative process, the man had to give this gift to the woman that he liked as a sign that he is interested in her.

If she accepts the spoon, it means that they will start a new relationship. In some cases, the spoon is similar to the traditional wedding ring and symbolizes the fact that the husband won’t let his wife go hungry. However, this tradition is still performed in Wales as well as in other parts of Europe, but you don’t have to spend a lot of time to create a spoon, because you can simply buy them.
