Okay, I can understand having your wedding picture taken at some of the more beautiful sites of your city, say Old Manila in our case but a war memorial. I've seen this happen in several former Soviet states, where couples dressed in tails and wedding gowns go to the tomb of the unknown soldier and have their pictures taken. Must be a throw back to WWII when defending the motherland was the honorable thing to do . . . . . but still, as a backdrop to your wedding picture? This picture was taken in Kyrgyzstan at the tomb of the unknown soldier. Note it wasn't just the husband and wife but the whole entourage.
Of course the other aspect of this tradition I fully understand. As they drive from one site to the other, vodka flows freely and everyone is understandably happy.
