Worldwide Wedding Rituals

In this episode, we travel to southern and central Italy to explore la serenata, the pre‑wedding serenade where the groom sings beneath his bride’s window with musicians and neighbors gathered around. You’ll hear how this romantic ritual works in practice today, why it’s a regional custom rather than a nationwide tradition, and how it connects to older European serenading and modern celebrations in Italy and abroad.#wedding #ceremony #ritual #italy
