Kasal
As with other cultures, Filipinos celebrate a Kasalan (Wedding) as a
milestone and turning point. During the "ligawan" (courtship) of
pre-modern times, the man dealt primarily with the woman's family. He
would usually demonstrate his honest intentions for the woman by
performing work for the woman's family, such as in the field or farm.
The courtship culminated with the Filipino practice of "pamanhikan"
when the prospective groom formally asked the bride's parents for her
hand in marriage. Gifts from the groom's family were also usually
presented at this time. The "pamanhikan" ritual is still practiced
today, and the groom's family still generally shoulders all expenses
for the wedding.
One of the exciting and fun parts in getting married is knowing that
after the big day, you and your beloved could escape to a relaxing
get-away teeming with romance. Kasal.com helps you find that special
