pieces—with the skin on—and all the ingredients are shortly blended
until frothy.

most common additions include grated ginger and cloves. The combination can be
fermented for up to several days—the length of fermentation will affect the flavor,
making it more sour and fizzy with time.

10. wedding
Some of the Brazilian
wedding traditions that we dont
expect it happened

11. LTame a donkey
The tradition "Bumba-Meu-Boi" includes the groom
attempting to tame a donkey in order to impress his future
father-in-law.
L All the single ladies
While getting ready for her wedding, the bride may
occasionally write the names of all of her unmarried girl
friends under the hem of her bridal gown. This is apparently
done in order for all the single females to have good luck in
their love attempts and "maybe" get married sooner.

12. Ticket please
Brazilians enjoy parties, and occasionally unwelcome visitors attend as
well! Many couples have begun to include "tickets" to the wedding and
reception with their invites. Security is recruited, and each visitor is
required to submit their ticket in order to join the wedding. This
manner, the couple is certain that everyone at the celebration was truly
invited.
Grand entrances
for the Groom
The bride is usually the most prominent person at a wedding, but
during a Brazilian wedding, the groom comes in a close second. The
groom will make an equally stunning entry as the bride!

13. 10 minutes late
Most Brazilians are quite relaxed and usually never in a rush. And,
because it is critical for the groom not to meet the bride before the
wedding, the bride will come late to her own wedding. Some
people believe that being 10 minutes late is typical, but in fact, 10
minutes may quickly stretch into 30 or more.
Tie cutting
During the reception, it is tradition that the groom’s tie be cut up
into many little pieces.The artefacts are then auctioned off to
wedding guests in order to pay the couple's future honeymoon.
This auction is generally led by the groom's best man or a close
family member.
