Wedding traditions of Belgrade

Serbian weddings include the kum, a procession with trumpets and a Slava-style feast.

A Serbian wedding is a family event, with the kum as the best man and godfather. Guests may go to the bride's house in a procession called svatovi.

A wedding here

A brass band, often a trumpet group, leads the party. The groom's party comes to the bride's door and may be teased before they enter.

Rites

An apple may be thrown over the roof by the bride to bring luck. The couple is crowned in an Orthodox church.
