If you’d like to add a slice of your heritage to your wedding ceremony, you’re not alone. Millions of couples are embracing their ancestry and choosing to incorporate some of the best traditions from around the world in their ceremonies here at home. Here are some of the most interesting wedding traditions you might find if you attended a wedding in a Scandinavian country. If you or your family are from one of these countries, why not try adding some phrases from your ancestor’s native tongue in your wedding vows for a truly memorable touch?
Origin of the original Britons, the Vikings, and Hamlet, Scandinavia is a cluster of countries with a unique set of wedding customs. In Denmark, an arch of pine limbs called a Gate of Honor is built in front of the bride’s home. At some point in the reception, the groom will leave the room and all the male guests will get to kiss the bride. When he returns, she will depart and the female guests will kiss the groom.
In Viking times, the groom would pay a price for the bride, and the bride’s family would provide a dowry. These combined funds were then given to the couple at the end of the marriage ceremony in order to provide a starting point for the newlyweds. Today, the parents will tuck money into the bride’s shoes. The father contributes silver to the left shoe and the mother contributes gold to the right shoe. Also, the shoes are left untied in belief that this will ensure easy childbirth in the future.
Truly traditional Viking weddings are always held on Friday, which was considered the day of Frigga and therefore sacred. The couple is often sanctified at the beginning of the ceremony with a sprinkling from a fir bough dipped in wine. Rings may be presented by the bride and groom to each other on the tip of a ceremonial sword, and vows are often recited while both hands hold the hilt, reminding the couple that marriage is a lifelong commitment that is equally binding on both male and female.

选项
A、wedding traditions from around the world.
B、some of the best customs from other countries.
C、interesting Scandinavian wedding traditions.
D、the presence of the previous generations.
答案
B
解析
第1段第1句提及的heritage和第2句提到的ancestry和traditions表明世界各地的传统习俗可以为婚礼增色不少,因此本题应选B。原文在第1、2句中并没有对traditions作出限定,而A将原文fromaround the world前的traditions的范围精确到了wedding traditions,故A不正确;C在第3句提及。这是对斯堪的那维亚国家的婚礼的背景介绍,提及的内容不符合题意;D没有原文依据。
