Cutting the Groom’s Tie is a wedding custom amongst the Italians.
Do you know: The groom’s tie after his wedding is actually cut into small pieces.
Once the tie is cut into many pieces, the friends of the bride and the groom walk from table to table at the reception, circulating the pieces of the tie in exchange for money, which is then given to the couple for their future. After their wedding, it is also customary for the couple to break a vase. The number of shards the vase breaks into symbolizes the number of years the couple would stay married.
