Bitter and Salty Coffee for Groom

It is a tradition that almost all of us are familiar with in betrothal ceremonies , offering the groom-to-be salty or spicy coffee.

Thanks to this tradition, the bride -to-be measures the groom's love and devotion to him, while the groom-to-be proves his love and devotion to the bride-to-be by drinking salty coffee . Well, we ask why, and this is a situation that we cannot understand. This tradition from ancient times actually has a story.

Previously , the bride and groom candidates would only see each other at the marriage ceremony , if the bride's family liked the groom, the coffee was made with sugar, if not, it was made with salt. Of course, the groom-to-be, who drank the salty coffee, would leave the girl's house with his family when he realized that the bride did not like him.

As for today, of course, couples try to get to know each other by talking beforehand. It has become a pleasant and expected joke that the bride and her friends make on the groom at the begging ceremonies.

Whether the coffee is salty or sweet, what matters is who you drink it with.
