Weddings Are Simple
As you may have suspected, the Amish keep their weddings very simple. When the man proposing he isn’t doing so with a huge, expensive diamond ring. No, that would be a sure sign of vanity and not in line with their principles. Furthermore, the bride herself will not even wear makeup or jewelry at the wedding. They cover her hair and she wears a very simple blue dress. Weddings can be hours long. Most times, they take place during the fall.
Not Your Typical Honeymooon
Wow, we have to give the couple props for putting up with this tradition. I mean how would you cope with honeymooning at your parent’s home or if you’re the male, honeymooning at your new in-laws’ house? Yes, they actually spend the wedding night at the bride’s parents’ home. Then the next morning the couple cleans the home as a thank you.
