All couples would like to have all the luck that they can get during their big event - the wedding. That is why even if they already consider today as the modern world, they still follow the traditions passed to them by their parents or grandparents. The same goes for all those who want to get married in Prague. Whether it is a local of the city or tourists who simply want to wed in the destination, they still respect the old traditions in Prague. More often than not, these practices are believed to bring the couple good health, great relationship, strong family, and more.

Typical Czech wedding includes more than one bridesmaid. So before the bride head to the church, it is a must that she travel with all her bridesmaids and other single ladies who will be attending the ceremony. This is to make sure that the ghosts will not capture or attack the bride before the ceremony begins.

By the time that the bride will walk down the aisle, it is a must that the flower girl walking before her should sprinkle the petals of flowers. Aside from building up more anticipation on the groom, it is also believed that the sprinkled petals will attract the fertility goddess. This tradition can also be done after the ceremony when the newly weds are already walking together at the aisle.

Another wedding tradition in Prague that is done right after the ceremony is sprinkling of rice to the couple. Some Czechs believe that this will attract the god of fertility. Doing this is part of the local etiquette, and thus is an important part of the destination wedding etiquette. But there are others who believe that this tradition is practiced to symbolize success and wealth at the same time.

Friends and relatives of the newly weds also play part in the whole wedding traditions. Before the couple gets into the door of their new home, they have to make sure that they have done the "protection magic" tradition. In this practice, they must throw coins, nuts, as well as corn ears to the newly weds. The things that were being thrown at them would serve as a sacrifice so that the ghosts living inside the house will not harm the couple and everyone who will live in it.

Once the newly weds will already go inside their house, the groom must carry the bride until they pass the door. Czechs call it as the start-a-new-life tradition. But the oldies said that this is the way to prevent the bride from passing through the ghosts who are protecting the door of their new home. No one is sure if the ghosts may bring harm or luck in the family. But more often than not, these ghosts guarding the door usually cause infertility among the brides.

But the traditions do not end right there. Before everybody gets to munch on the foods served, the couple must first one bowl of soup and eat it at the same time. This simply symbolizes that the couple must always have cooperation and should work together all the time so they can have a prosperous and fruitful relationship.
