In Sweden, there are several customs in the Swedish marriage. But at the outset, the parents of the bride do practice an old traditional wedding custom, and that is before their daughter leaves for the church to get married, her mother gives her a gold coin to go in her right shoe, and her father hands her silver coin to be placed in her left shoe. Why? Well this is practiced for centuries, without which the bride or brides will never move out. Again, after the marriage vows are exchanged with the Swedish brides or bride, it is found that the new bride will wear three bands on her wedding finger. One is an engagement ring, another is her wedding ring and the third is a ring for motherhood. Besides these there are also other necessary customs, which the Swedish brides do perform in the marriage days. There is one very common wedding tradition that is practiced in Sweden, though there are several variations of this wedding tradition. In the Swedish culture, the main decision maker of the family is determined during the wedding. The first way that the main decision maker of the family is chosen is by whoever first enters the church. However, since it is common for many couples to choose to have the grooms to wait at the altar for the Swedish brides, there is another way that the decision maker of the family may be selected. This is by who says the words, "I do," in the loudest tone of voice. Now being an ancient country with a glorious civilization, though through the ravages of history many customs, either have been changed or lost forever, yet there are many which are followed with great veneration. On of these famous Swedish wedding traditions is based on the bridal crown. Specially made for the Swedish brides, once they were used to be made of leaves, flowers or other plants, but in the contemporary period they are made of tiara. Once, in the realm of Sweden, the Swedish brides who were only virgin were given the opportunity to wear the crown, which was controlled by the church. It was very common for brides to wear tiaras because not wearing one indicated that you were not a virgin. Even if a bride did not favor the appearance of a tiara, she was likely to wear it anyway for this very reason. However, though it is still followed in several churches, but the practice is less common, for the wedding fashions.

On the other hand, for Swedish marriage, there is still a very common tradition with an ancient legacy especially for the couples, and that is to have a buffet-style reception. What are the most favorite dishes? Indeed, there are some preferable delicious dishes. But some of the mot essential foods that are served at a Swedish wedding reception include herring, cowberry jam, Swedish meatballs, and hard bread. The traditional Swedish wedding cake was usually a sponge cake with toffee icing. During the wedding reception, the invitees are found to enjoy by singing songs. Lastly, the father of the bride and the father of the groom are both expected to give a speech at the wedding reception, though it is common for any guest to give a speech if they want to.
