Batangas Wedding Tradition |
| |
(From Helium web page) Batangas, a province here in the Philippines has a wedding tradition, too. In the middle of the wedding reception dinner, a relative announces the sharing portion done through bids from the groom and bride's sides. It will be explained that the money collected will be used as they start their lives together. This determines who has more or less. Every bid is exchanged with a rice cake and for the male bidder a drink of wine from a small glass. It's also done not for the money's sake. Just for fun.
In Batangas, the reception was always done at the Bride's residence. And the wedding always starts in the morning, normally, 8-9AM so that the reception will not pass noontime, because there is a tradition that the bride needs to go to Groom's residence by noontime to get more prosperity. The transfer of the couple from wedding reception to groom's residence is called lipatan. In this tradition, all the things used in the weddings, which is normally from groom's relatives, are packed and the reception is being cleaned thoroughly.
