Indian wedding with a strong ethnic color.（浓厚的民族色彩）
婚礼的主持人是酋长和两位长老，根据印 第安人传统习惯，新郎婚前要设法猎获一头 糜鹿，用鹿肉加野米熬成汤，婚礼上分给大 家喝。按照古老惯例，印第安人婚礼上吃玉 米饼时，还应吃烤野牛肉，但今天的野牛成 为保护动物，所以许多人婚礼上的烤野牛肉 便用美国的”肯德基炸鸡”代替了。
让我们感到奇怪的是,筹办 婚姻会好几天,可却是秘密 进行的,因为公开筹办会触 怒鬼怪或引起他们的嫉妒。 在婚庆快要结束的时候,人 们把一大坛啤酒抬到园子里。 新郎新娘的手握在酒坛上方, 然后酒坛被打得粉碎。在场 的适婚女子会把碎片捡起来, 捡到最大的碎片的女子注定 会第一个结婚,而捡到最小 的注定会终生不嫁。
婚宴上会 有人大喊 “苦啊！ 苦啊！” 每当有人 带头喊时, 在场的所 有人便会 齐声附和, 这时新人 便会站起 来,当众深 情地一吻。 没过几分 钟,又会有 人大声叫 “苦”
•,新郎新娘便 又站起来,再 次用甜蜜的吻 来平息亲友们 的叫“苦”声 这样的“程序” 在婚宴上至少 要重复十几次 亲友们才会罢 休。原来,按 照俄罗斯人的 说法,酒是苦 的,不好喝,应 该用新人的吻 把它变甜。
In the Hindu view, the primary purpose of marriage is to complete a variety of religious duties, and sacrifice is the most important（在印度教徒看来,结婚的首 要目的是完成种种宗教职责,其中祭祀最为重要 ） 男子必须结婚生儿子才有资格向祖宗供奉祭品。 因此,在 结婚仪 式上,夫妇 双方为 此念咒、 祈祷、 发誓,并 且丈夫 以妻子 明确说 道：我为 了得到 儿子才同 你结婚。 祭司等人 也为此而 祝愿他们。
