There are various wedding customs amongst the people in Slovakia.
Do you know: In Slovakia it is customary for the groom to swing his bride over one shoulder and take her away from their wedding reception.
The Moravian people, who live in the parts of Slovakia and Czech Republic, have a custom where a large candle is lit by the couple and the flame is then passed around to all the guests, each of whom lights the candle he is holding. This continues until every candle in the room is lit, creating an intimate ambience.
