Wedding Traditions From Around The World That Will Shock You

Blowing the Conch, USA

Merrimans Weddings

Known as “Pu,” Hawaiian weddings will have a conch shell blown to herald in the special occasion. The conch is blown by the Kahu, the caretaker of the ceremony. When Hawaii still had a royal family, a conch shell was blown whenever a royal canoe arrived, or whenever a special ceremony started. Now, that includes weddings.
