Some traditions are more than 100 years old. And in most cases they are observed in Ukrainian villages. And in the city, they switched to a more European wedding format. Although it's still fun.
1. The bride herself must embroider a towel on which the newlyweds stand during the wedding ceremony
2. Redemption. More precisely, it's just fun.
The groom is not allowed to see the bride until he fulfills the task of the bride's friend or pays money (this money is then transferred to the family budget)
3. The groom's parents order a loaf of bread for the wedding. A loaf of bread is a traditional wedding bread. The newlyweds must take a bite. The head of the family will be the one who bit off a bigger piece
4. After the wedding ceremony, the groom's mother removes the veil from the bride and puts on a handkerchief. This symbolizes that the bride has become a married woman
5. And the groom must wash his mother-in-law's feet and put on a new pair of shoes. In this way, another shows respect for his wife's mother.
