the groom wears a hand-made woolen suit known as a bundas. The bundas has a white silk shirt, short pants and stockings that come up to the calf, a vest and topcoat.
. Many people think the bundas makes a man look like a Norwegian prince.
The bride traditionally wears a white or silver wedding gown. The bride will also wear a silver or silver and gold crown. Dangling around the crown will be small spoon-shaped bangles.
During the wedding reception after the wedding the bride will dance vigorously, the tinkling melody of the bangles will scare off the evil spirits which try to inhabit the happy bride.
Music is very important at a Norwegian wedding. Often Norwegian weddings will use the traditional Norwegian tune Come to the Wedding and often the happy couple will be escorted out of the church after the ceremony to the music of the accordion.
At the conclusion of the ceremony the bride and groom exchange gold or silver wedding rings and the traditional wedding kiss, which symbolically seals the relationship between the husband and his wife.
