Marriage was common, although the single celibate life was thought more spiritual. Wedding customs were fascinating.
I'm linking here to an earlier blog by Emilie Hoppe. She gives a detailed and colorful description of marriage customs from 1855-1932.
In the video below, Kaci, a summer intern at the Homestead Church gives a quick overview of Amana wedding customs in the communal days.
Come learn more about Amana history and customs, while enjoying the warm hospitality, and peaceful setting of the Colonies today. Come for special events and festivals. Any day is a good time to visit the Amanas!
Or stay with us when you're in the area for a wedding. The Colonies are a major wedding destination these days with multiple gorgeous venues for couples.
