    When the marriage is over the two come out of the church and their neighbors through "confetty" on them to show gladness and friendship. They then go home in the car, and before they enter a bottle of wine is broken on the door step. When the breakfast is over, the pair go for a drive around the country, and if they rich they go on their honeymoon to some foreign country.
