Tea Ceremonies: The bride and groom kneel before older family members and offer them tea as a sign of respect. The older family members usually give the couple an envelope filled with gold jewelry or money.

Sharing Sake: In Buddhist, Shinto and Christian Japanese weddings, the bride and groom followed by their parents drink three sips of sake from three sake cups.

Henna: A common practice in India and the Middle East is to adorn the bride’s hands and feet with henna.
