Wedding. Russian wedding in English.

From the all private holidays wedding is the most beautiful and very old holiday in all over the world. History of wedding tradition come to thousands years. There are a lot of defferent traditions to сelebrate this one of the most important event in the mens live.

I'm not going to tell you about different exotic rituals of wedding, but some of them are rather interesting. I can tell about it during your wedding party, if you want it. I'll better tell you here about modern Petersburg wedding.

Modern Petersburg Wedding.

Saint-Petersburg unites in his history russian and european culture for a long time. That's why Petersburg wedding is very special. Modern Petersburg wedding leaves a lot of russian traditions, takes some beautiful european tradition and dilute this cocktail with modern moments.

Let's talk about traditional stages.

Metting of newly wedded.

Guests and parents meet newly-married on the entry of the banquet room. There is an old tradition in Russia to present important people with an offering of bread and salt (like a symbol of hospitality). Modern wedding include also traditional gasses of champange. From the another country traditions petersburg takes throwing of rice, candies and coins. This one will make life of newly wedded rich and happy.

After parents congratulations, newly-married break russian round loaf, drink the shampange and invite all the guests to banquet room through "the wedding gates". Newly-married make this gates over guests heads with specail towel on which was the round loaf.

The official part starts. During this part ot the party guests raise their's glasses to newly wedded's love and happiness, parents give their advices. After this there is a toast for parents health. During this time guests usually sit at the table and treat themselfes after the long wedding walking. They can leave their plases if they want to rest, to breathe or to smoke.

This is a good idea to show for all the guests history of meeting of the couple in this part of the meal. You can use a multimedia projector to show your photoes or video, guests can know more about love story of the couple. This lets to know newly wedded better. After this special presentation we can make The First Dance. It wiil be the final of the first part of the meal, but the begining of the disco. Disco is the time to shake you well.

After the first dance break it is a time for presents. This is a moment when the guests can come to newly wedded, congratulate them, give them a present and say a few words in microphone or simply twosome. Sometimes i combine it with a guessing on a gender of the future baby, but it is absolutely unnecessary.

During the next part of the party guests take part in a show. There are a lot of different interactive contests for them. Any talent is good here! If you like sing songs - please, congratulate newly wedded with a song, if you like to drink - no problem to show this talent, if you are strong - show us your strength. We'll find many puzzles for the most intelligent guests. We'll show many interesting petersburg wedding traditions. Let's dance, play, sing and have fun! We can invite different artist on your party if you want.

During this part guests are leberated and jolly. And of course they try to steal the bride or her shoe. They can also take the chairs of the newly wedded at the table. We can stop this "madness" by the ransom, that we offer to "wedding terrorists". But very often racketeers don't agree to take any money, they prefer creative competitions for fiance and his friends. When the last competition has passed, the wife is given back to her husband under loud ovations. Guests raise theirs glasses to love and the second disco break starts.

Bit by bit the wedding is going for its sweet final. And the moment comes to throw the wedding bouqet and the wedding garter. This tradition comes to us from The Europe. There are a few variants of this ritual, we'll choose the most suitable. After the next targets of Amour has specifed, it is a time to come back at the table and get ready for the dessert.

Wedding cake is the another european tradition. Newly wedded cut the first pieces of the cake together and give them to their parents. The next piece sometimes sells by auction. After this it is a time for newlly wedded to thank all the guests, which has come to their wedding.

We can continue our party after this, if you want it. We can dance, sing or play. Show must go on, if you don't feel tired. In the ending of the party we can make wedding fireworks.

This all is a simple scenario of your wedding. Every party is very individual and special. We need talk a lot about it to make it really cool.

Call me!

Rustem. =)
