The Unexpected Rules and Customs of the Amish Community

Amish Marriage Law

In the Amish community, the rule is as follows: once an engagement is made public, the engaged couple must personally hand-deliver wedding invitations to each guest. This is also a way to make sure that everyone knows of the engagement. During the wedding, no kisses or rings are exchanged. It's quite different from mainstream wedding customs!
