Hee, I love the pictures. ^^ That's so neat! Viking/Scandinavian culture has always interested me - I was a huge nerd over it throughout middle school. One of my favorite books on Vikings was The Sagas of the Icelanders - pretty nifty stuff, and quite a lot of excellent myths and legends.
Lately... I've been studying up a little on Shinto and Buddhist wedding ceremonies. Shinto is a bit more traditional, (although, a lot of weddings nowadays are mixed with Western traditions.) It can be pretty complex, and they're often run on a tight schedule.(Lol, I'd probably better not ramble on and on about it, sorry. XD) A Buddhist marriage, though, is very simple, and is considered more of a celebration and social affair.
Oh gosh. I just love learning more about different traditions - it's so fascinating!
