I ran across this in my travels. I thought some of you might be interested in traditional Russsian weddings.

The best part of the ceremony is the night after the wedding. That's when the fun begins... Smile

Has anyone celebrated their wedding in the traditional Russian way listed in the article? Do people currently still celebrate like this, or is this tradition falling by the wayside?

OH YES!!!!!!

Russian weddings are much more fun than American weddings....most american weddings are boring, except good southern weddings..if you can remember after all the whiskey you drank....or the hooch you just drank (190 proof pure grain)...man when those country boys get drunk..um... look out...they are wild....I run and hide.....fights...knock out brawls....I run when that starts....believe me I have gone to so many southern weddings and all of us girls have to leave.....first fist thrown it's time to leave.....hee hee...I don't know if Russian weddings get wild during the reception or not....but I am sure it's nothing like a red-neck wedding in Kentucky....yee haw and boot scooten....I don't know how a bride could enjoy the fun part of the honeymoon when her man just past out from the booze....heheheh!!!!Maybe Russian men can hold their liquor better than american men.....hey a new thread!!!!!

Yes good article and I will keep it for future reference. I've been to some great weddings here in the USA and wow have I had some fun! So it all depends I guess. I drank with the russians and yes they can handle the Vodka...but put tequila down them and party over!
