Imagine a wedding where the groom doesn’t shoot an apple with a gun, but instead shoots a basketball right into a hoop! Yes, you read that right! A traditional Serbian wedding custom just got a sporty makeover and it’s gone viral on social media. In a video posted on Instagram by @cudomir78, the groom, dressed in a sharp suit, arrives in front of his bride’s house where a basketball hoop awaits him. The wedding guests cheer him on, and an older gentleman explains the rules – he has only three attempts to score. And guess what? He nails the first shot perfectly! The crowd erupts in applause, and the bride steps out of the house, victorious in this unusual challenge.
This fresh twist on tradition has won hearts online. Comments under the video are full of praise: “A trillion times better and more fun than a bunch of drunk people waving guns around!”, “Disarm and shoot hoops instead!”, “Bravo, beautiful! This should be the new rule!” People are ready to make this sporty ritual the new wedding tradition across Serbia. Forget dangerous customs; it’s time for basketball shots and fun that doesn’t put anyone at risk.
This phenomenon shows how old customs can be refreshed and adapted for modern times. Instead of sticking to outdated and sometimes risky traditions, we can add some sporty spirit and healthy competition to life’s biggest moments. Who knows, maybe soon every wedding will have its own mini basketball tournament!
If you’ve ever been to a wedding where the vibe was dull or tense, imagine how much better it would be if the groom just shot a ball and everyone laughed and enjoyed themselves. This video proves that innovation in tradition is not only possible but welcome. And if you have your own quirky wedding custom or idea, share it – maybe you’ll start the next viral hit!
Either way, Serbia has gained a new reason to smile and laugh, and the groom who shot the basketball has become the hero of the day. Who says tradition can’t be fun and modern at the same time? Go ahead, shoot that hoop and let weddings be places of joy, not stress and danger. So, what do you think about this crazy but brilliant custom? Would you like to see this at a wedding?
