Curious Bulgarian Wedding Rite Preserved In Slavic Village
An old custom from Birapye Bulgaria features the bridegroom shaved on his wedding day while a crowd of girls gathers. Locks of the groom are saved in a chest, and guests present cloth pieces. The groom kisses each guest’s hand, washes the bride’s dress, and the garment is weighed three times by the bride. This practice, dating to ancient times, is still observed in villages.
