ITALIAN MARRIAGE CUSTOMS
WHEN AN ITALIAN FAMILY CELEBRATES A WEDDING IT IS CUSTOMARY AND
GOOD LUCK TO MAKE CANDIED ALMONDS FOR THE GUESTS. ABOUT FIVE OF
THESE ALMONDS ARE GATHERED IN A LACE MATERIAL AND TIED WITH A BOW.
THEY ARE EITHER KEPT FOR GOOD LUCK OR EATEN AS A CANDY.
Submitter comment:
THE GUESTS USUALLY EAT THESE CANDIES AS MOST OF THEM
LACK AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE ITALIAN BELIEF THAT THESE CANDIES BRING
GOOD LUCK.
