Customs of a Traditional Italian Wedding

According to Italian tradition, when a man wanted to ask for a woman's hand in marriage either himself (or in some cases, his brother or another male relative) went to speak to the woman's father. Once the father said yes and both families were fine with the arrangement, presents were then exchanged. It was customary for the prospective groom (the pretendente) to place a diamond ring on his bride-to-be's finger before the engagement was announced.

Italian: The Language of Love

To be married in Italy by a rabbi who spoke Hebrew with an Italian accent was almost as funny as listening to Jerry Lewis speaking Italian in a dubbed film. Jerry's high-pitched, squeaky voice in Artists and Models and the rabbi's deep, solemn tones in our marriage ceremony ranged from ignorance to bliss on my emotional scale.
