What are Lebanon's customs and traditions?

Answer 1

interesting question, marriage well in the old days a man would take his wife after marriage and have intercourse and take a cloth for proof of defloration and go show the blood to her parents. lol which is just freakishly weird i don't think there's anyone who does that these days except for hicks i guess up in the mountains living with livestock lol. and if you want wedding customs that's a different story Lebanese people have the most wonderful weddings filled with music and dancing and celebration and there are certain things you should know i can't answer them all since I'm not sure if that's what you're asking.

Answer 2

Despite Lebanon's diversified people, who belong to 18 different sects, the Lebanese are yet tied down to sharing the same traditions. You can see this clearly when attending Lebanese weddings anywhere in Lebanon. Whether simple or grand, a Lebanese wedding wouldn't be truly Lebanese without a 'zaffeh'. Zaffeh is Arabic for the act of escorting the bride to her husband, and nowadays with her husband, in celebration of their holy marriage. According to a recent news article, planning weddings is so big in Lebanon that many Arabs and Europeans call Lebanese wedding planners to help them out with their weddings. Even better, some come to wed the Lebanese way!

There a part/dinner after the wedding and there's a "zaffe"(a dance performers team) witch both of them are optional.

the "zaffe" can be traditional or mixed, usual it is traditional where the performers wear a traditional clothes and do the traditional dance called "Dabke"

The zaffe dance in the party and when the bride exit her home at the entrance.
