00:00The weirdest wedding traditions in history.

00:03In Sparta, brides would shave their heads and wear a man's cloak, waiting alone in the dark.

00:09It was done to toughen women, teaching them strength over beauty.

00:13Their husbands would then have to sneak in at night, consummate the marriage, and slip away unnoticed.

00:20It was nothing less than a mission.

00:22In ancient Rome, the bride would part her hair into six sections, not with a comb, but a spear.

00:30They did this to honor the Sabine women.

00:33You see, in the early days of Rome, there was a shortage of women.

00:37So the Romans abducted the women of Sabine to make them their wives.

00:41But when the Sabine men came to war to take them back, something unexpected happened.

00:47The Sabine women stood between both sides and pleaded them not to fight.

00:53They had accepted their new life, and their choice helped Rome survive.

00:58In Qing Dynasty China, brides had to prove their love for their family by crying.

01:04Not once, but every night, for an entire month.

01:08And they weren't alone.

01:10Their mother and grandmother would sit beside them crying together.

01:13The louder, the louder the tears, the deeper the love was believed to be.

01:18Different worlds, different rules, but one thing has always stayed the same.

01:24Love was never easy.
