Moldovan wedding

Prepare for the wedding in advance. About a year before the expected date. First, you should choose the right wedding day to bypass the time of the posts. The overwhelming majority of young people are still being married. Secondly, we must choose ours. This feature is peculiar to the Moldovan custom.

Nanashi - the imprisoned parents become close relatives of the young. They help the new family with advice and support morally and financially. As a rule, this is a happy married couple older than the newlyweds, but younger than their parents, whom the husband and wife will be respected and obeyed. It can be a family of an older brother or sister, but not relatives are allowed, but friends of parents or young ones. Ultimately, nanasha is responsibility and material costs, so finding a worthy couple for this role is already half the battle. Traditional Moldovan wedding without nashasha simply will not take place!

On the appointed day, the smartly dressed groom goes for nanasha. According to tradition, he gives the couple a beautiful fresh roll on an embroidered Moldavian towel. Of course, everything is decided in advance, but the bread should be accepted with gratitude - this means consent.

Moldovan wedding begins with the traditional bride price. This custom has much in common with Slavic customs. The main actors here are witnesses from the bride and groom. They are called a thief and a friend. Girlfriends of the bride, led by a witness-friend, ask tricky questions to the groom and his friends, preventing him from going free to the bride. The ransom is taken in money and sweets.

If the wedding takes place in the city, and the bride lives in a tenement house, it is better to rent a suitable room in the hotel, in which the bride will wait for the arrival of the groom. No advice "how to properly photograph a wedding" will not help make a good shooting bride price in the faceless porch of a typical house.

That's not all! On the way to the bride, and even when the groom and the bride go hand in hand to the registrar's office or to the church, the children encountered on the way strive to pour a bucket of water under their feet. This custom symbolizes obstacles on the way to happiness. In response, the groom should also give them a few coins.

The Moldavian wedding is held at the will of the young and their parents. If they believe for some reason that the wedding should not be done - the relationship can simply be registered with the registry office, it costs less than 10 dollars. The ceremony includes Mendelssohn's march and a small pagan rite - a search in a bowl full of wheat and wedding rings. It is believed who will find the ring first - will be the head of the family. To marry is more expensive: 20-30 dollars plus a bottle of wine and a few rolls. But all the same, the Moldovan wedding at the time of marriage, despite the abundance of hassle and considerable costs - this rule, and its absence - an exception.

Wedding is not necessarily held on the same day as registration at the registry office, but always after it. Moldovan churches are not crowned by unregistered couples. The next important stage is the banquet hall. After the painting young people with witnesses go to lay flowers to the monuments, and the rest go to the banquet hall. Generally, in the countryside, Moldovans take holiday tables in the special guest room of Casa Mare, but the Moldovan wedding is too crowded for this option. Rent a restaurant or simply a banquet hall, which is in every village. The most economical option is a Moldovan wedding in a huge tent right in the courtyard of the house.

The obligatory program of the Moldavian wedding is live music and home wine. Musicians play from 3 pm to 6 am. Dancing at the Moldovan wedding is perhaps the main element of fun. Dancing carnival, standing up by a chain, dancing folk dances, and mostly - lyrical "medljaki". So, wine, dancing, screams "bitterly". The most interesting begins closer to midnight. Each of the guests pronounces a health resort in honor of the young and loudly announces how much he gives them money. Things are given only by close relatives. All the money given on the tray is given to the young couple. They go to sleep, and the guests are having fun till the morning, whoever can.
