Articles of category "Wedding in America"

American culture is often described as a melting pot. For many ethnic groups in America, retaining their ancestral traditions is very important. Some groups, like African Americans, have lost much of their ancestral traditions due to forced immigration. In the African American wedding, however, African traditions can be reestablished.

While American wedding traditions exist, there are no rigid rules one must follow to plan a beautiful wedding. A white dress, faith based ceremony, reception & honeymoons are all American wedding traditions, but they are by no means set in stone. You can plan your wedding when you want and how you want it, perhaps that is the best American wedding tradition!
