Marriage is a union of a man and a woman, an agreement for life, a communion in Divine and human law. The ritual side of the wedding changed over time and was largely determined by geography, living conditions and the level of culture of the people. A Russian peasant wedding is an inexhaustible reservoir of folk wisdom, ethics, aesthetics and culture. And in our time, no matter how solemnly marriages are registered, no matter what experiments are carried out with the search for new forms of organizing a wedding celebration, we still turn to folk roots and folk traditions. From this book you can learn how to properly conduct a wedding ceremony in a church , and you can prepare for it in advance.
