In some cases, this liquid is nectar created by a local medicine man. In others, the vase may be filled with tea or even just water. Whatever the case, the liquid is meant to represent the union of the bride and groom.On the wedding day, each takes a turn drinking from the wedding vase. The groom starts by offering the vase to his wife, and she takes a sip from it. The bride then turns the vase and offers it back to the groom so that he can sip out of it. In some tribes, to mark the moment they officially come together as one, the bride and groom both sips out of the vase at the same time. Tradition dictates that if they are able to do this without spilling any liquid, they are destined to sustain a long life together.At the end of the ceremony, the wedding vase instantly becomes one of the most cherished items in the couple’s life. They are responsible for taking care of it and making sure that it doesn’t get damaged during their marriage.
