Eskimos' wedding has a special tradition, which is known as wedding by capture. Eskimos believe in monogamy. However, in some areas, polygamy is practiced. Wedding by capture is an old tradition for Eskimos. It refers to the fact that after a couple was in love, the male will develop a home for the female, or sew a shirt for her to withstand the winter. If the family members of the female moved to the new house, or the female wore the shirt, the marriage was confirmed.
The wedding usually takes place in winter, primarily because of the fact that large snow may prevent people from walking outdoors, and also hunting. On that day, the male will secretly hide near the female's home. When the time comes, he will capture the female. The female, in order to test his loyalty, will pretend to be indoors, so that she won't be captured so easily by the male. The smarter males will use strategies to lure her out of her home, in order to capture her. However, if the wedding took place in summer, the male can enter the female's home directly, capturing her and running away with her. The female pretends not to obey, while her family members pretend not to see it. Finally, the female's voice will faint in distance, and the procedure of capturing was completed.
The Eskimos' wedding is unusually simple, with only the bride and broom, tribal elders, parents, brothers and good friends, etc. They will eat and dance together happily. After that, they will leave on their own. Eskimos' lifestyle is simple. They rely on simplicity to live and to treat people. This is so genuine. Their emotion is so elegant and simple, but the most difficult to attain!
