Wedding traditions of Minsk

Belarusian weddings keep a loaf, a rushnik and the custom of the wedding pledge.

Belarusian weddings share Slavic customs: the bread and the embroidered towel, called a rushnik. A civil marriage is held in a wedding palace.

A wedding here

The couple stands on a rushnik and is greeted with a loaf. The couple takes a bite and the one who takes a bigger bite is said to lead the family.

Folk touches

Folk songs are sung, and the old Belarusian wedding had stages including the matchmaking and the braiding of hair.
