One of the most famous Ukrainian wedding traditions is the “splash” – a dance duel between young people that takes place after they have planted a candle on the wedding table. The splash is not only a beautiful sight, but also a symbol of the fact that young people can trust each other, even in dance.

Another well-known tradition is "wine with a vodka", when young people drink wine and a hot bitter vodka at the same time. This tradition symbolizes the difficulties and obstacles that young people can meet on their way, but which they can overcome together.

Traditionally, at the Ukrainian wedding, folk songs are performed by guests and young people. Also very popular is the tradition of funny pranks and games that help make the wedding even more fun and memorable.

One of the peculiarities of Ukrainian wedding traditions is "cowbasna persecution". This is when young people run with the guests for a cowbass, which is hung on a high stick. Kovbas is a symbol of community and unity, and persecution is a symbol of difficulties and obstacles that young people can overcome together.

In conclusion, we can say that Ukrainian wedding traditions are very beautiful and symbolic, they help create a unique atmosphere and leave vivid impressions for life.
