CAN YOU GUESS A POPULAR AFRICAN AMERICAN WEDDING CUSTOM?




DID YOU KNOW..... 

A popular African American wedding custom is the "tasting of the four elements." This is when the couple tastes four flavors that represent different emotions within their relationship. Lemon is usually used to represent sour, vinegar for bitter, cayenne for hot, and honey for sweet. Tasting the flavors represents how the couple will be able to get through the hard times of life and enjoy the sweetness of marriage.
