Today, many traditions of the Russian wedding turned out to be irrevocably lost, and those few remaining existed in a very modified version. Nowadays, the interest of young people towards Russian wedding traditions has significantly increased. More and more young couples wish to celebrate their marriage just as their progenitors of one hundred, two hundred and more years ago, with respect to her beautiful and memorable rites and traditions. Today we will tell about what wedding traditions existed earlier.

Learn more than a few hundred years ago, the wedding was a ritual complex, which were performed in a strict sequence on a certain tradition of the scenario. The most important rites of the wedding in Russia were considered walling, collusion, bachelorette party, wedding, wedding night, wedding feast. Each of them had a certain semantic value. Watching, for example, was expressed in the negotiations of two families about the possibility of making marriage between a young man and a girl. The farewell of the bride with the virology was a mandatory stage, which characterizes the transition of a young girl in the category of married women. Wedding acted as a religious and legal design of marriage, and the wedding night - in the form of his physical bond. Well, the wedding feast expressed public marriage approval.

The execution of each of these rituals in a certain sequence was considered the right way to create a family. If the sequence of rites was broken, or any of them was not fulfilled, the marriage was considered insolvent (that is, the event was not fully completed).

Wedding ritual covered various ritual actions that were not binding on execution. For example, the views could not be carried out if future bride and groom lived in one village (village). If the guy who launched, lived in another village and nothing was known about his family, the views were carried out, according to all established rules. If the parents of future bride and groom knew each other perfectly, and no doubt about the marriage of their children did not arise, then the walling and conspiracy were carried out at the same time.

Despite the unity of the overall scheme of holding, the wedding ritual had a local manifold. For example, in the northern provinces of European Russia and Siberia had a wide distribution of a rite, in which the bride was supposed to visit the bath. This rite was part of the rites of a farewell of a young girl with a virgin. In southern Russia, a cuinary rite was a mandatory part of weddings. Separate rites were performed only in specific areas. For example, in the Pskov province, the bride with his "retinue" it was necessary to meet the "train" of the groom on the way to church and put a bouquet of paper flowers to his feet. In other Russian areas, the bridegroom was supposed to pick up the bride from the house of the parents and to take to the church.

In the wedding ceremony, certain actors participated - wedding ranks, whose behavior was subordinate to the rules established by the tradition, but some improvisation took place. The bride and groom were the main characters around which wedding action took place, and they played a passive role. The bride should have been submored by all their views, love and gratitude to the parents who were raised, and also to show their unfriendly attitude towards the bride and his relatives. In turn, the groom should have demonstrated respect and love for the bride. The initiative participants in the wedding were parents of young, godfall, as well as the closest relatives. Another actors in the Russian wedding were friends of the bride and groom or boyars, the matchmaker, a thousandth, friend, the assistants of the friend (rewards), calender (young married women, happy in marriage, having good, healthy children), etc.

The most important role was assigned to his friend or the head of the wedding from the bridegroom. Its responsibilities included to monitor the compliance of the wedded Russian traditions, the entertainment of jokes and sentences, as well as the protection of the wedding participants from unclean forces. In southern Russia, the calender played an important role that the wedding loaf was baked. Each single wedding chin had a special suit or clothing element at its disposal, decoration. For example, the bride during the ritual accounted for several times to change clothes, thereby demonstrating the change in their status. At the "Plakal" stage, the bride was relying to be in a mourning dress with a closed handkerchief, in the process of wedding and marriage, she wore elegant clothes, it was supposed to be elegantly dressed, and the most elegant and bright suit and a female headdress ended in the morning after the marriage night. The groom usually put on an embroidered square handkerchief (shirinka), which was attached to the header, bouquet of flowers, fixed behind the hat tape and pinned on the shoulders or tied instead of a towel belt. The matchmaker was distinguished by a shoulder embroidered towel or red gloves on her hands. The attribute of the boyfriend was whip. Wedding rituals, as a kind of theatrical action, included special songs, sentences, games, promsions, crying, conspiracies, dancing.

The core of the Russian wedding ritual was the complex rethinking of the mythical representations of antiquity and Christian ideas. For example, its part of steel, which reflected the distant ideas of people about the dying of the girl's soul during the transition of it to the category of married ladies and gaining it after the married night of the soul of Molodoha. Some rites were sealed to the cult of distant Slavic ancestors: crying the bride on the grave of parents with plenty of a blessing to marriage, farewell to the stove when leaving the house on the wedding day, etc. Often magical actions conducted during a wedding (ledging, producing), They had a pagan. The desire to protect and protect the young from the evil eye and damage, as well as any negative impact of the otherworldly force, forced to close the face of the bride with a handkerchief or a towel, rolling into the clothes of young needles, to pronounce conspiracy, swing the whip, to fill in the wedding train, choose the district path to the church. So that young people have not experienced in family life and have many children sprinkled them with grain and hop, treated chicken, sidelized on a fur coat, turned out to the fur. All these ritual actions were accompanied by prayers to Jesus Christ, the Mother of God, St. Nikolai pleased. In general, Rusi attached great importance to the blessing of the parents, asked for the protection of Christian saints, which were mentioned in ancient bale.

Russian wedding ritual, the history of formation.
As the basis for the modern Russian rite of the wedding, the established traditions to the nineteenth and first quarter of the twentieth century were taken. Finally, he was presumably in the middle of the fourteenth century on the basis of the general Slavonic wedding ceremony. In the written materials of this period there is a brief description of weddings using words familiar to our ear: "Bridegroom", "Wedding", "Bride", "Wedding", "Svaty". There are also preserved antique miniatures and drawings with the image of wedding peters and marriage rites. In the sixteenth century, judging by the description of the princely weddings, the nomenclature of wedding ranks has developed and their functions have decided, there has been special wedding clothing, attributes, food, wedding folklore.

In the second half of the seventeenth century, the traditions of the Orthodox Church began to actively implement the tradition of the Orthodox Church: the rite of parental blessings arose, the rite of wedding was obligatory. The people's rite himself officials began to condemn, considering it a "demonic effect." In 1649, at Queen, Alexei Mikhailovic was introduced by a decree, which condemned many rites of the people's wedding and who for the holding of these ordered to beat people with baotogs, and the musical instruments used at the same time - to break and burn.

Matchmaking.
Watching was the negotiations of families who were interested in concluding marriage, and also was the main and obligatory ritual preceding the Russian wedding. It was considered early to marry in Russia, while the parents of a young man themselves were engaged in the choice of the bride for their son. Often, the youngs themselves did not even know about the upcoming wedding, they could notice them only during preparations for her. Commonwealth was approached with all seriousness and responsibility. Before it is decided to decide, the family council was collected, which was attended by the godparents and the nearest relatives. Of course, when choosing a bride, the opinion of the young man and relatives took into account, but the last word remained behind the parents. An excellent bride was considered a physically strong girl who possesses hardworking, capable of fulfilling economic and homework, showing respect and respect for the elders, modest, but having a sense of self-esteem. Special "demand" used girls from families with a good reputation. Belonging to the girl to the family, which was respected for several generations, made it possible to judge her as a decent daughter-in-law of the kind-tribe.

The material well-being of the family into account was not taken when choosing a bride. It was believed that young people could "give everything" themselves. Skates were very carefully chosen, because from their ability to talk to a conversation, to arrange relatives of the future bride, in a profitable account to submit a family of a young man often depended on the result of the matchmaking. Usually, the guy's godparents were played as a matchmaker, or someone from his close relatives. Sometimes the guy's parents in the matchmaker were invited to the respected and confidence of the fellow villagers. In addition, such a responsible role was offered to be eloquent, able to arrange marriage to people. In large handicrafts, large trading villages, cities used the services of professional fumes. But this custom became common at the beginning in cities, and it's pretty late. So in the middle of the nineteenth century, such a matchmaker, even in the cities, it was considered to be "unrealistic", so after receiving the consent of the parents for the matchmaker, they sent the "real" matchmakers.

Watching in those days passed with mandatory observance of various accepts, from which the future life of newlyweds seriously depended on the ancient beliefs. Usually wrap or negotiated about the conclusion of marriage came to the house of the girl's parents or close relatives of the groom. During this rite of the family of young people, they got acquainted and established "contacts", since their relatives had a rather serious weight at that time, so it was thought out literally to the smallest detail. For the walling, they chose certain days of the week, which were called "Light": Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday, usually late evening or night time. All this was accompanied by various magical actions, which was supposed to provide a positive outcome of the case and prevented the refusal of the bride's parents. For example, in the Pskov province, the mother of a young man beat three times out of the door of the Woven belt, accompanying certain magical words. In the Russian villages of the Kazan province of Swaha, on arrival in the chief of the chosen, found a stue and turned around her three times around him, it assumed a good marriage (the girl will aroused three times around the nucleation during the wedding). In the Perm province of Swaha at the entrance to the house, the girls hit the heel about the threshold.

Entering the house of the future bride, the matchmaker behaved in the village customs: filmed the caps, baptized on the icons, they walked off the owners, did not go to the table without an invitation and did not sit on the shop. Swat first started the conversation and pronounced well-known phrases: "You have goods, we have a merchant"; "You have a chicken, we have a cockerel, whether you can not drive them into one glory?"; "We need not rye and not wheat, but a red maiden", etc. It happened that the matchmakers directly expressed the goal of his arrival, they came, they say, "not half the floor, not the tongue to scratch, they came to find a bride."

Parents of the future bride showed gratitude for their family respect, invited to go to the front part of the hubby or to the hube, put a treat on the table and invited to the table. Previously it was believed that the matchmaker must be very good to meet, even if the bride was not particularly "glanced" to the parents of the bride. If the groom was not in favor of the bridesmaid parents, then the refusal they always set out in a delicate form: "We have a non-sales product, I did not sleep," I'm still young, you have to wait. " In the case of the desired walling, and if the guy was well-known, the girl's parents were given their consent immediately. If the guy was a member or lived in another village, the parents asked for time at the matchmaker at thought: "I will marry a daughter - not a cake to bake," "Not one day I raised to give the gaze." The greeting of the matchmaker has not yet meant a complete harmony of the wedding.

In the cycle of the rituals, the matchmaking also included negotiations regarding the dowry, which was given for the bride, the amount of the amount of money (masonry), allocated by the parents of the groom on wedding spending, the amount of spending on the wedding feast, was discussed by the number of guests, which will be at the wedding from the bride and side The brides, the gifts that relatives will exchange during the wedding ritual will exchange. If families were wealthy, then legally certified marriage contracts could be drawn up, which mentioned all the details of the wedding and the future life of a young family. At the end of the family negotiations were determined with the collapse time, that is, prescribed the day of accurate decision regarding the wedding celebration.

Looking and looked.
Following the matchmaking, looked, looked. Syrya (Location, Sugrada) were held in the arrival of parents and relatives of the bride into the house of the groom to clarify his property situation. This rite also had a solemn holding, the bride's family was met very well: they demonstrated the house, economic buildings, cattle, the number of grain in barns, Avi, Khomno, were planted for a festive table, spoke of family legends. If families were not familiar, then the inspection was more stringent and thorough. If the parents of the girl for some reason were not satisfied with the farm of the groom, they could refuse the matchmaker: "Thanks for the bread-salt, it's time." If they liked the inspection, they spoke something like this: "Everything is good for you, we all like it, and if we need you, come to us."

On the loafers (stains), the girl was officially represented by a guy. Who launched his family. Usually this rite was conducted in the house of the chosen. It was attended by directly the groom, his parents and the nearest relatives. This action was accompanied by singing young unmarried girls (girlfriends of the future bride), which were also invited to this ritual. The girl put on her hair-out-out dress, she was displayed in the center of the hut, asking for a walk or turn on the spot. Guests and parents of the groom, who were observed at this process, expressed their approval to the girl. After that, the young hand on the hand was caught on the hut, got up on a pre-plated fur coat, kissed or bowed to each other.

If the bride groom was not like a girl, she could tell her parents on this, then refuse to give a wedding. For example, she could silently get out of the hut, replace the festive outfit on weekly, and return to the guests. This was regarded by guests as a refusal. But, as a rule, this rite ended with a beaker, while the bride's parents covered the table, and the parents of the groom brought the bumps.

Collusion.
A few days after the walling, he was held (in the house of the bride) collusion (handicraft), which served as a symbolic consolidation of the decision on the wedding and marriage. Also attended parents and relatives with the same side. Initially, negotiations were conducted on the bottom of the wedding, agreed on the magnitude of the dowry and masonry, the number of guests at the wedding feast. During the collusion, the bride began to be done, complaining about the fate and parents who force her to say goodbye to the free girl life and herd home.

The ending of the negotiations was a ritual ritual, in the course of which the fathers of young people got up opposite each other and beat them on the hands of the hands, which were wrapped with scarves or a small piece of sheepskin, after which they had a hand with the words: "Our son would be between us a common son , And your daughter would be a common daughter and our obedient rug. " Frequently on Rus's shaving of hands to each other legalized a mutually beneficial agreement, a contract. In some Russian regions, he was held on the table, where they put a loose cave, after which they were swallowed in half. Bread in this case served as fastening the contract.

After the mother's mother, the girl fastened the hands of the young, confirming her consent regarding the decision of the fathers. After that, everyone began to read prayer in front of icons with a burning lamp. The reached and consent was noted by the peak, while the young ones were not present on it.

After a crowd, it was impossible to refuse marriage, it was regarded as a terrible sin, the payroll for which will last all his life. According to custom, the guilty party in violation of the agreement was obliged to pay all spending on the wedding, as well as to pay "compensation" for disgracing the deceived side. After the conspiracy, the young people were called the bride and groom. The resulting young status had to correspond to (change behavior, external appearance). The bride was assumed after the collusion "torsion", "kill", to be nearing, that is, mourning his virginity. She should from now on to wear only mourning clothes, on the head of a handkerchief, taking off on her face, she could not comb her hair and braid braid. She practically did not say, explained by gestures, at home she moved exclusively with the help of girlfriends, who were now near her constantly, and often all over her. The bride was forbidden to go beyond the borders of the house and the yard, go to the parties and a walking of young people. It was allowed to get out of the house only in order to invite relatives to the wedding, yes to say goodbye to neighbors, a village and the "white light." Now she was removed from any economic work. Its only her occupation was the preparation of gifts, sewing dowry. There were those areas of Russia, where the bride before the wedding daily during the week had to go out and sadly. According to believe, the more the bride is crying, the easier it will be life with her husband. All women of the village were sometimes gathered for such "gatherings".

The groom after the collapper might and mainly walked with his friendships on his own and neighboring villages, parting with "youth". In addition, every day he had to go to the bride's house and pretending her friends with different goodies (candy, gingerbread).

Caisery rite.
The caravayan rite performed as a certain ritual action, which was associated with baking and distribution karabavi (round bread with decorations in the form of dough figures, artificial colors) during the princess table (wedding feather). Caparava baked in the house of the groom (sometimes in the house of the bride, and in some localities and there, and there) on the eve of the wedding or marriage night, or a couple of days before. This rite was divided into two stages: the first - directly its preparation (called the "Caparaway" stage), the second - the division of punishing on the wedding table or "loose to wear."

Before finally, leave it to be baked, the loaf moved three times-put forward from it. After putting karabav, it was necessary to hit the shovel on the ceiling beam.

From the point of view of mythology, the oven symbolized the female womb or maternal loan, the bread shovel - the male beginning, and the cave - the fruit that turned out to be merged. Decorations from the test, which girls baked separately from Karabav, were in the form of figurines of the sun, stars, months, flowers, fruits, pets, that is, signs that were considered from the Russian personification of peace, good, happiness, satisfaction, fertility.

All this was covered with a white embroidered sheet to the floor and a beautiful blanket.

Helfed the bed of dumps from the side of the bride and groom, as well as mother or sister of the groom. After that, under the bed was kept by Kochergu, a few manneys, a frying pan, and then went to bed with a rowan or juniper branch. The branch in the future stumbled into the wall. It was believed that all this would protect newlyweds from evil forces, and bags with flour and rye sheaves will provide them well-being. The lamps performed the symbol of future children: the more they are on the marriage bed, the children in the family will be much.

Newlyweds were kept by a friend, dashpers, less than all those present on the feather under the laughter, noise, additives, erotic instructions, songs. The first, according to the tradition, a friend was included in the room with a marriage bed and hit the whip in bed for a couple of times in order to scare out the unclean power. In some places of Russia, a custom who agrees to whom a friend paid the redemption by beds (for those who knew bed) were also widespread. The door of the room outside was locked and put on the outside of the tellery or our own guard, which was guarded by newlyweds from the unclean strength and the necessary guests. Left alone, newlywed before you lie down to bed, it was supposed to eat bread and chicken, in order to secure a consonant marital life, wealth, healthy offspring. The newlywed should have demonstrated humility and submission, removing the boots from her husband. This vintage rite is mentioned in the "Tale of Bygone Years". The newlyweds demonstrated its position as the owner in the family, forcing the bride to ask him permission to go to bed with him. During the marriage night, a friend was departed several times and was interested in whether sexual contact was held. According to custom, which was distributed almost in all areas of Russia, if everything has been completed safely, the guests informed the guests, the young after that was either deposited to the guests, or did not disturb until the morning. The guests after such news were sainted by erotic chastushki, which said what happened between the young.

The next thro those who accompanied the young to bed came to wake them, in order to check the triad chastity of the girl. It could be witching differently: a knock on the door, screams, ringing bells, beating the pots about the threshold, wrecking the blanket, dusted with water. The alert of parents, guests, and the whole village about chastity or his absence from the bride took place through ritual-gaming actions. For example, in the villages of the Perm province, if the newlyweds were a virgin, the towels and tablecloths with red embroidery were highlighted at the home of the newlyweds, their boyfriends tied horses to the arcs, on the way to the parents of the newlywed. In the Vladimir province, the marriage sheet, posted in the front corner of the hut, spoke of the honesty of the bride. In some villages, guests led by the Swash and his boyfriend with shouts, the ringing and noise drove around the village and waved the newlywedgox shirt.

If it turned out that the young lost his virginity before marriage, then her parents were put on the neck of the Homut, the Father served beer in a leaky glan. Humiliation has been subjected and swash. The mandatory innocence of the bride, and in some villages and groom before marriage, proceeded from the premises of the peasants that the transformation of a girl in a woman, and the young men in a man could possibly occur only during certain rites and only under compliance with a certain sequence. The violation of the order was considered a violation of the move of life, encroaching on its foundations.

It was also believed that the girl who lost her innocence before marriage would remain fruitless, early widow or leave the widow a husband, and the family will wake in hunger and poverty.

Surrounding young.
Surroundings of the young was also a wedding rite, in which the bride changed the hairstyle and the headdress on women's. The ritual was held immediately after the wedding on the church pellet or in the wedding of the church, in the groom's house in front of the princess table, in the middle of the wedding fellow, after the marriage night. In this rite, it was necessarily attended by the groom, his parents, friends and dashs. All this was accompanied by singing. Instead of one braid, two twisted and laid around the head, after which they covered with Kokoshnik.

In Russian villages, the Altai County was held after arriving from the crown. The bride was put in the angle, closed with scarves on each side, twisted two braids, put them around their heads, put on Samsuur and handkerchief. Then the young shown the bridegroom and asked them both to look into one mirror, in order to "live together." Songs who sang dashs when changing hairstyles and headdress, in different locations sounded differently, but the essence was alone: \u200b\u200bthe statement of the girl in the new status.

Chucks.
Chucks (allocated, fertilizers) completes the sequence of wedding rituals. This is a feast that was arranged for the youngsters in the home of the parents of Molodoha. Her parents to their arrival prepared in advance the treats. The mother-in-law treated son-in-law pancakes or scrambled eggs, he also showed his attitude towards her. If he bought a pancake or ate the scrambled eggs, it means that her daughter retained her virginity before marriage, and he was grateful for this, if she was blossomed damn it, or ate scrambled eggs from the middle, then the young turned out to be "dishonest", that is, did not save Chastity before the wedding. Then he expressed her claims for the bad raising daughter. Then the young were leaving home. With a prosperous outcome of La Pier in the parental house, Mroduha lasted.

Two loving hearts decided to create a new union. Ahead of many pleasant troubles for the preparation of the celebration. It's time to remember what our most couples are trying to adhere to at least the most basic. All customs carry the semantic load, about which we often do not remember, fulfilling all the incomplete rules, rather, in habit, to be like everyone else. Let's try to figure out that they symbolize customs and traditions at the wedding in Russia.

Wedding Dress

The first thing that comes to mind when you remember the wedding traditions in Russia is a wedding dress. Romantic and air, modest and innocent, luxurious and elegant - it can be any, the main thing that the bride felt in it the most beautiful on his day. Despite this, most girls choose white outfits. And only in rare cases agree on the robe, in which someone has already married. Usually it is my mother's dress if she has a happy marriage. Why exactly white and new? This color symbolizes youth and innocence. Therefore, many women who get married the second time choose blue or variations of champagne color, believing that they have already worn their white outfit. A new dress symbolizes a new life, which begins from the date of marriage.

By the way, the white color in the tradition of the wedding in Russia came from Europe. Frequently, our girls were married in red dresses, which symbolized fertility. Fashion variable, including wedding images. Many modern brides tend to leave traditional colors by adding bright or, on the contrary, tender ribbons or other finish. Red now choose only the most extraordinary and extravagant paintings.

Veil

The history of Fatas as the attribute of a wedding dress has about two thousand years. Roman brides hiding faces for a veil in modesty, chastity and secrecy. Only after the ceremony, the husband could take this veil with his beloved. In the east, Fata did not decorate the young, and kept between future spouses so that they could not touch each other to their first night.

Wedding traditions in Russia oblige brides, the first time married, to wear a veil. If the marriage is the second, it becomes unnecessary. Today it is not so serious to this custom. Fata is perceived, rather as an accessory that complements the hairstyle, along with the diadema, for example. Sometimes instead of it put on a small veil, attached to the hat. You can also do without this element of the wardrobe.

Old and new, borrowed and slightly blue

This phrase of tradition in Russia is described as a whole outfit of the bride. "New" is undoubtedly a dress - a symbol of entry into a clean and bright family life. "Old" - usually these are decorations transmitted in the family from the mother to the daughter. It is not necessary to talk about family diamonds, it is quite acceptable to use some detail of the maternal wedding dress. This thing will symbolize the connection between generations, that particle of parent heat, which they invested in their daughter and which it will bring to his own family. "Borrowed" is a thing that led girlfriends. It will mean that next to the young family will always be friends and close people, always ready to help and support. The blue color in the dress is a symbol of peace and harmony in the future family. It can be used in dresses and accessories. Often put on a blue garter.

Rings

Wedding traditions in Russia, as in other countries, do not cost without the exchange of rings. Young people who are going to get married today are chosen decorations made of precious metals - gold, silver, platinum, smooth or stones, decorated with carvings and engraving. And yet traditional wedding rings are smooth, without inserts and decorations. Why so? Ring - endless straight, without beginning and end. It symbolizes a long future family life. Each pebble or irregularity, by popular beliefs, mean some misfortune on the way of a young family, since the ring is closed, the troubles will be repeated once at once, in a circle. So choose most often smooth rims.

Blessing

Discussing the traditions of the wedding in Russia, it is impossible to forget about the important custom of getting a parent blessing. It is it that gives a happy ticket to a family life. The lack of parental approval so far can be considered a significant reason for the wedding does not take place. Each of the newlyweds in the morning on the day of the celebration should bless a mother or godpa.

Ransom

As many years ago, a modern traditional wedding in Russia does not do without a rite of time impact exists in our country. He symbolizes the transition of a girl from parental nest to her husband's family. The sacral meaning of this rite is almost lost, now the redemption has become a funny action designed to entertain guests. The bridegroom has to be exercised by an unwanted cans to cope with all the tasks that bride's girlfriends prepared him. Often they help to demonstrate how well the future husband knows a loved one and what a paradise life he promises her. If the task is not fulfilled, you have to bother with money or candy - from the smallest participants. Before the bridegroom is his friends. Sometimes they manage to break through, skipping some of the tasks. In any case, the redemption is one of the most fun rites.

And the boutonniere groom

The best Russian wedding traditions are associated with the bride bouquet (and the most beautiful). Previously, the bridegroom was his himself. He could rush colors in the field or ask any of the neighbors to cut the plant in the garden. In such a request, I usually did not refuse. Today, a rare girl will allow the bridegroom to order a bouquet in the cabin without its approval, yet it is one of the main wedding accessories and must harmoniously fit into the image. The bridegroom is not allowed to see the dress in advance, so he is unlikely to choose flowers on his own.

For the first time, the bouquet plays a bouquet on buying a bride. When the future happy spouse overcomes all obstacles, he gives his bouquet to his beloved. Redemption stops at the moment when she takes a bouquet in hand - this means consent. Further, the girl should take out one flower out of a bouquet and pinch him on the chest of the groom. From here, the tradition of boutonnieres. It always consists of the same colors and similarly decorated.

The custom of throwing a bouquet of the bride in the crowd of unmarried friends, and the second is a garter to the friends of the groom, came to us from Europe. Not so often, the well-known sign works, but the cheerful tradition perfectly worried. And guests support it with pleasure. The main bouquet usually protects, for throwing, the second, smaller sizes are ordered, which can pick up his girl who caught his girl, sometimes use artificial flowers.

Sowing of newlyweds grain

After graduating from the marriage ceremony, usually at the exit from the registry office, guests waiting for newlyweds are built on both sides of the exit, forming a tunnel, through which the bridegroom has a bride, and shower them with grain, minor coins or rose petals. This action is included in the wedding traditions of the peoples of Russia and many other countries. Different items can be used, but the meaning of the rite is the same. He symbolizes the wishes of happiness, wealth and fertility of a new family.

Bread-salt

At the entrance to the house, where newlyweds will live, young people expect the parents of the groom with bread-salt - festive carabically. He is decorated with the depicting swans, bunches of rowan and other symbols of wealth, loyalty and fertility. Bread symbolizes the wealth and well-being, which the young family watches, and the salt should protect them from evil forces. Young should bite off every piece of punitive and eat. There are signs - who grabbed a larger piece, he will be the head of the family.

There are other wedding traditions in Russia related to the arrival in a new home. The groom should certainly be transferred to the bride through the threshold in the hands. This custom must protect it from the evil eye, diseases and other misfortunes. If the girl did not enter his legs, she was not in this place.

Even for the youngs, they spread the fur coat up - a symbol of wealth. Who's first kneeling on her, the head of the family.

Beating dishes on happiness

Many in Russia come from the villages. The custom beat the dishes on happiness too from there. On the second day after the celebration, it was customary to beat clay pots. If the sudine crashed, then the girl married clean and immaculate. If even cracks did not appear, it was possible to start till the bride. It was considered that the more fragments, the more happiness will meet young on their way.

New wedding rituals

In each city, there are variations of wedding traditions and their places where young must come to stay during a walk after the registry office. Among them, it definorates the bridge, through which the bridegroom must transfer the bride on the hands so that it does not touch the legs of the earth. Often, locks are hanging on the fence of the bridge, indicating the wedding dates and the names of the newlyweds. Together they lock them out and throw the key into water, as if fastening their union and throwing the only possibility of its destruction. Sometimes there are ribbons on trees.

The sacral meaning of wedding rituals is often not known to anyone. They are perceived only as old good traditions and a way to enjoy guests. Nevertheless, most couples entering into marriage seek to follow the customs known to them, believing that they can make their marriage more successful.

At each wedding, you can see a variety of traditions that came to us since ancient times, but they still try to stick.

We are familiar with many wedding traditions - this is the created family, the redemption of the bride, exchange, eating punitive, white wedding dress, shrinking with young coins, rice, candy, flowers, throwing garters, and the bride bouquet, the bride's bridesmaid in Cheboth.
