So many young people love the idea of getting married and especially the Traditional Wedding (which normally comes first). I personally love all the theatrics that come with the day; Though a very significant and meaningful affair it is also a special day full of jolly and playful performances.
Ok.... lets take a step back and look at the fundamental reasons or should i say the purpose of the Traditional Wedding (Engagement).
So you said yes... you got the ring (finally) lol, now its the Traditional Wedding!... but whats its all about i hear you ask.
Baby girl you need to be clear i mean crystal... as per the reason why your Traditional Wedding is being held. Its not just another excuse for a parry oooo
The Traditional Wedding stems from wayyyyyyy back when even back to BC. Lets look at the word
TRADITION: the transmission of customs or beliefs from generation to generation, or the fact of being passed on in this way.
Your Traditional Wedding is mainly about your family and your fiances family (sounds nice right?) coming together for a formal introduction. Your fiances family will make their intentions known to your family. This is often performed by a family spokesperson (ALAGA). Gifts are often brought by the grooms family from a (at times) lengthy list provided by the brides family. Each gift as its own significance. For example fruits, meaning the couple will be fruitful... 9 months later... no pressure though lol

Traditionally the Traditional Wedding is held at the brides family house, but customs have been adapted according to individual preference.
