Czech Republic: Wedding Tradition

David of Prague Blog writes about a fun wedding tradition that the Czechs seem to observe: “After the wedding ceremony, and before the reception, the best man “kidnaps” the bride and takes her to a pub. […] They drink whatever they want, and the groom goes searching for them. If he goes to a pub and they are not there, he must have a drink there before heading to his next guess. […] And when the groom finally does find them, he has to pay their bar tab.”
