Sibling Send Off

Whenever a sibling gets married for the second time (it is only for second marriages with the lore that this is the second chance), he/she usually gets into a ‘bachelorette’ type of an event with another married sibling of the opposite sex. Mostly common among brother-sister relationships and sister-sister relationships with an age gap of 2 years or more.

This is usually a small trip where both siblings spend the day doing the activities preferred by the sibling getting married. This is followed by a night of drinks and sharing secrets. The send off part comes in the end when the sibling who is getting married exhibits lingerie, shares secrets and engages in mild affectionate making out. This is different than a sexual encounter with a partner. Penetration is usually rare.

Prominent across south east asian countries, and some parts of Europe, its supposed to bring in good-luck and is a fun way of sending off the sibling.

In many cultures, there is a parent send off ritual as well which exists only between mothers and sons.

Hey sister….are we supposed to do the Sibling Send Off (SSO) in town or we travel?

Hey bro…I will be needing lot of gifts when we do the Sibling Send Off (SSO) next week. Don’t worry, I won’t tell mom.
