In Bangladesh
there are few traditional wedding programs which is celebrated almost every wedding
in this country. But recently some new programs are added which is a result of
the influence of its neighbor culture, like culture of India
and Pakistan .
And few programs follow some western culture. No matter which culture that chooses,
the reason of everything is having a joyful wedding ceremony mixing all
together.
Marriage ceremony actually differs from religion to
religion. Not only in Bangladesh
but also all over the world. Because every religion has its own belief of God
and follow their own dos and don’ts. Marriage is considered as most holy and
spiritual bond between two people everyone wants to complete it in religious
way. In Bangladesh ,
we mainly count four kinds of religions which are followed by most people. And
each kind of these religions follows different types of programs of wedding.
