Hello.
Wedding is one of the most exciting moments in life of the Ukrainians. No other nation celebrates it so grandly. Russian brides are very serious about it and you can make sure of it, if you read what women from UFMA Kharkov say: http://www.ukrainianfiancee.com/aboutukrladies.htm.
As usually, they marry once and forever because marriage unities are sacred for them. The whole ceremony is rich in customs and traditions, which date back to the 18th or19th centuries and the Ukrainians preserved it till our days. That’s why here you can see a lot of traditions, which you can’t find in any other country and now I want to tell you about few of them.
1. Pre-wedding traditions
The process of preparation is not less interesting, than the wedding itself. The first stage is called “smotryny”. Here the bride’s parents come to the bridegroom’s house to get acquainted, even if they are neighbors and see each other every day. The both families gather around the table and discuss the forthcoming wedding.
When it’s finished, they invite the guests. While in the countries of Western Europe people just send cards to the guests and book a restaurant, in Ukraine everything is much more exciting. A bride with Russian girls cook special bun, called “shishka” and send it to the guests with an invitation. Also before the wedding, they buy wedding rings.
2. Bride token
Bride token (or price) is one of the most interesting wedding traditions in Ukraine. It’s a very old tradition. Its meaning used to be materialistic: a bridegroom paid money to bride’s family, because they lose a young girl who is capable of working. Nowadays, this tradition has more entertaining meaning. A bridegroom may pay with small coin or sweets (if there’re any children in bride’s family).
As usually, Russian girls, bride’s friends, write a scenario for a bridegroom and he has to fulfill all the quests, the girls will set up. At the end, he meets his bride and they kiss.

3. The wedding feast
The culmination event of the wedding day is a big Ukrainian wedding feast, which is also full of interesting customs. For example, when a bridegroom comes to the bride, he presents a round loaf on towels to the single girl from the neighborhood. Then the towel is laid upon the altar and as the popular belief says, who steps on the towel first, will be the head of the family.
But the most touching custom is when a mother-in-law puts off a veil from a bride and covers a girl’s head with a headscarf. It means, that she was accepted to the family. There’re many cases when a foreigner married a girl from Ukraine via our Ukraine women for marriage and how happy these couples are you can see here: http://www.ukrainianfiancee.com/marriages.htm
