Uncommon Customs.

There are several customs in the world which are unheard of. They are practiced in different parts of the world. Here are some customs I saw on my trip.

GERMANY
POLTERABEND.
Polterabend is a German before wedding tradition carried on between the bride and groom. The friends and family of the couple come together for an informal party where they shockingly break everything in the house except glasses and mirrors.
To show that the couple will help each other in future difficulties, both of them are given the responsibility to clean everything up.

ENGLAND
 GURNING

This tradition is not the least bit religious. The English have celebrated this tradition since the 1267. The participants try to make the most grotesque faces as possible. This is also a very serious game. It has been converted into championships like the World Gurning championship, England.

SCOTLAND
  BLACKENED BRIDE
Scottish brides to be have to undergo a very gruesome and foul ritual before marriage. Friends of the bride can wet and dirty the bride with anything disgusting such as rotten eggs and vegetables, spoiled milk and feathers, etc.
The scottish believe that after going through this, the bride will be pretty much ready to face all martial problems.
