Abstract
Society constitutes the environment to which a person belongs and in whose context most of his actions and behaviors are organized, which are manifested through various social practices and activities that succeed each other through a repetitive daily routine. Society, in its continuous movement, produces various social phenomena, and among these phenomena are customs and traditions that are considered the cultural heritage of any society, as Through it, communication is maintained and continued. It is passed down through generations as a symbolic language that enables them to communicate throughout the ages and expresses their collective identity. Although it differs from one society to another, and within one country it differs from one region to another, in essence it constitutes a basic factor for unifying mentalities around the principle of Preserving heritage and connection to the past, because the concept of customs and traditions is linked to the past and ancestors.
Every society has its own customs and traditions, the details of which are passed down from parents and grandparents, generation after generation, to cling to, grow, and become a source of pride and pride over time. There is no doubt that one of the most beautiful of these customs and traditions and the most ingrained in the mind are those related to marriage occasions, as they may help in the life of the individual, the family, and the group, in addition to being occasions for joy and happiness. Weddings in the past were characterized by a special flavor. Weddings used to paint a beautiful picture full of simplicity and spontaneity. There is no doubt that they differed in one country, between the countryside and the city, as well as among multiple sects.
