Russian Wedding Customs and Traditions

Do you ever wonder whether countries around the world have traditions similar to our's, or if they are completely opposite? I have often thought about that; therefore, I decided to research a specific topic in a specific country. You are probably wondering how I was ever able to come to a decision; let me indulge you.  
 
I have a younger cousin who was adopted from Russia; therefore, I decided to choose this as my location. I thought it would be very neat to learn more about where she is from and how life there differs or relates to ours. I wanted my topic to be about something very common that many people can relate to, yet something I am interested in; therefore, I chose wedding ceremonies.
 
I really enjoyed researching this topic because I learned so many new facts that I never would have found out. I soon began thinking about how many other people would find these facts as interesting as I do; this is the reason I created this website. The following pages are separated by topic and will teach you everything you need to know about Russian weddings. Enjoy!
