Whether you?re trying to get in touch with your roots, honoring your or your fiancé?s family expectations, or even attending a Swedish wedding, there are a few very special traditions that you should know about. Despite the fact that Sweden has very much kept up with modern times (meaning that many weddings today are not much different from Western weddings), there are quite a handful of traditions that still stick.
It might surprise you, but despite being ?traditional,? these traditions are not out of place when it comes to 21st-century standards. In fact, they might seem normal for the trends today. So, if you?re looking to do some research or are simply curious, here are a few very common Swedish wedding customs you?re likely to see on someone?s big day. We Walk Together

In most Western cultures, it’s typical for the father of the bride to walk his daughter down the aisle. In Sweden, this has always been uncommon. Instead, the bride and the groom are expected to walk down the aisle together. The reason for this (and some other wedding traditions) is that Sweden has long been an egalitarian society that believes in equality on all terms.
I Call Dibs!
Speaking of equality, the ?head of household? doesn?t always mean the man in the relationship. Instead, the person who first walks to the door of the marital home receives said title. It might surprise you, but quite often the husband purposefully lets his wife cross the threshold first as a sign of respect.
