Italy Guests at an Italian wedding will traditionally be given a small decorative bag containing five sugar-coated almonds (sometimes called "Jordan almonds"), the sweet coating contrasting with the bitter almonds remind us of the bitter-sweetness of life and, by extension, marriage. While the number may not always be five, it must always be an odd number, as an even number of almonds would be seen as unlucky.
