Norwegian Traditions

After a Norwegian couple exchange their wedding vows, friends place two small pine trees on either side of the newlywed's front door, until they have a baby.

Along with her wedding gown and sterling jewelry, a Norwegian bride might also wear a gold and silver crown, covered with silver charms, which were believed to ward off evil spirits. Sometime during the wedding reception in Norway, the new bride "dances off" her crown of charms.
