The Filipino culture's high regard for the sanctity of Marriage
has given the Philippine Wedding Ceremony many customs and
traditions that will be new to the American Gentlemen. In the
traditional Filipina Wedding the groom is expected to burden all
of the cost as opposed to American traditions were it is the
Bride's family that is responsible for wedding expenses. As
customary with Filipinas she will be wearing her wedding ring on
the right hand and not the left as here in the United States.
For the Filipina, the Bible has stated "the Son sits at the
right hand of the Father". So she will sit on the left and wear
her ring on the right. This tradition completely blindsided me
as I had already presented my fiancé' with a beautiful
engagement set and placed it on her left ring finger. You will
also find some Filipino superstitions associated with Wedding
Ceremonies and Newlywed couples. The Bride will not wear her
Wedding Dress before the ceremony or it will bring bad luck.
Also if a bride wants her husband to agree to her every whim she
will step on his foot on the way to the altar. This according to
superstition will place him under her spell of"Lihi". One of the
most distinctive qualities of a Filipina Wedding are the
cathedrals. They are HUGE. Some capable of holding as many as
600 or 700 people. Often they are gigantic architectural wonders
built of concrete and stone with huge arches and towering
steeples some times 100s of years old. Wedding Receptions are
also very affordable in the Philippines. Article by Marc Madi -
