Marriage customs- DENMARK

In Denmark, it is tradition for an arch of pine branches to be built in front of the bride's home.This is known as 'the Gates of Honor'.At the wedding reception it is traditional for the groom to disappear during the part of the ceremony so that all the unmarried young men can kiss the bride on the cheek-and then it's the bride's turn to disappear while all the single girls kiss the groom on the cheek.
