Week 25 - 52 Rituals/Traditions in 52 Weeks

A Fishy Korean Ritual/Tradition
Now if your looking for something out of the ordinary, then this one is for you!
In this Korean tradition the poor groom is subjected to some pretty interesting antics. Usually done in the spirit of providing him with increased strength for the wedding night, this ritual begins after the main ceremony. The Groom’s ‘friends’ (using the term loosely) will tie his ankles together with rope then take of his socks in order to beat the soles of his feet with a fish – A Yellow Corvina.

Odd? Yes a little, but it is all done in the spirit of good will and as a fun gesture of friendship so who are we to judge.
We just love these strange and out there rituals/ideas, so if you know of any you would like us to use, please feel free to drop us a line on the contact page.
