27. Amish Weddings Are Very Modest
Amish people only marry within their own communities, and then only after someone has accepted the faith and been baptized. Ordnung prohibits jewelry, due to numerous Biblical references to not letting one’s adorning being external through gold or jewels, so the bride and groom don’t exchange rings; they also decorate with celery instead of with flowers. Instead of a honeymoon, the newlyweds spend time visiting family and friends.
