The following traditions come from a website called WeddingChannel.com:

  • Break a plate on the doorstep of the home to ward off evil spirits – Peloponnese Tradition
  • Carry a piece of iron into the home to make the marriage strong – Sparta
  • Crush a pomegranate under your heel if you are eager to start a family - ancient fertility rite from Chios
  • Feed each other honey for a lifetime of sweetness together
