The Philippines is a country full of traditions and a series of customs that characterize its people, In social events like weddings, Filipinos follow something like a set of rules to carry them out.

The first thing is a meeting between families where the groom formally requests permission to carry out the marriage, then the bride and groom first visit the elderly and both relatives and acquaintances to communicate the good news.

December is considered the ideal month to get married and it is believed that if the wedding day rains it is an excellent omen.

In addition to the bouquet, the bride carries a rosary in her hands.

During the reception, it is customary to release pigeons, wanting to imply that the new union is expected to be very peaceful. Something particular is that if someone manages to capture one, they can take it with them.
