Griff88 1,737 Posted April 28, 2019 #33 Share Posted April 28, 2019 We also have this stuff in Java called janur kuning, a slightly curved "sign" made of palm leaves with names of the bride and the groom hanging on it. It is usually put at the nearest intersection of the wedding location. People often jokingly said "as long the janur is not erected, you still have the chance (to snatch or marry someone's fiancee)" hckošice and DaniSRB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hckošice 13,277 Posted June 29, 2019 #38 Share Posted June 29, 2019 @DaniSRB Just arrived from my cousin´s wedding and I have to appologize because I forget last time to introduce you one typical "east"slovak wedding tradition. the bonnet ceremony It´s called "redový tanec" you can google it and watch some videos. It is in fact the last big thing of the wedding, peoples usually should wait for it and only after they can go home (like me tonight lol). It happen right few minutes before or after midnight. The invited guests form a circle around the bride and dance with her one by one (or by small groups) after other, THE THING is that for this dance they have to pay her (and it´s really something, usually 50 or even 100 EURO are thrown to the prepared hat, plate or cup) until the song finish. During this time the men will forcefully prevent the groom from reaching the bride until all the guests have had their turn and it ends with the bride and groom dancing together at the end of the song, then the groom lift up his new wife in sign to show to everyone that from this moment she is only his wife.and both take the money collected, it's essentially their first money together as the newlyweds. here video how it looks Wumo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
