5k is not a lot tho. In USA a wedding can cost like 20 grand. Which is absolutely unreal to me but apparently it’s normal 🤷 Edit: a lot of comments that it can even be 50k, 60k and more. Truly crazy
I'm from Russia, the thing about boxes is customary only in some regions. Also some relatives who can't gift money help with organisation of the wedding, like transportation, hosting and making a wedding cake. My region celebrates weddings for nearly a week.
We had a small wedding. Everything included we spend less than $250. My husband and i have been together 18.5 years and have been happily married for 14 years ❤. We also have 2 amazing children we are insanely proud of.
That means you had a family get together for your wedding and prepared most of the food by yourself with the help of friends and family, really so beautiful. I believe true enjoyment of life’s best moments is with your close friends and family members 😊 Best wishes from Punjab; India 🇮🇳 🤝 🇷🇺

No wonder they have lots of people at weddings with those customs - the guests basically pay for the wedding so they don't foot the bill ..... poor people in those countries must hate to be invited to weddings 😮
No, it's not same... We haven't boxes... similiarity is only with that how many days we have wedding We have 2 days. Many traditions are totally different...
my uncle had a engagement party a mehndi a haldi a cocktail party a garba a wedding a reception and 3 other functions and it was in another country so they had to pay for hotel rooms and we had a family trip all expenses paid for us 😅

Never heard of the boxes thing - and I’ve been to multiple Russian weddings. Maybe in some regions but I’m still not sure. You will hear wishes to have many kids and soon in all the toasts the guest say though. The money gifs are pretty much standard now but not many people actually gift THAT much. Maybe parents and a couple of really close or wealthy friends. But if it’s a young people’s wedding (25-26 y.o.) the cost of the wedding would probably not be covered by those money gifts.

Last time I attended my friend's wedding in Lisbon, PT. Between us three girls and one guy traveling. We all brought along each $300 dollars. We decided to stay with Laura's family to cut costs. The wedding was pretty much small, family and a few close friends. So, I'd say it depends on how many people you are going to invite, as well as photographer, music DJ, and either a homemade cake or professionally made cake and pastries. Apparently, my friend asked her mum and aunts to help with making the menu, desserts, and wedding cake. For us traveling, we spent nearly $1,800 dollars overall. Their wedding costs were $15,322 euros. Because their family and friends, us included, helped cover for any extra unplanned things. It was a beautiful and fun one day event. Then they brought out two coloured ribbons, blue and pink. Two groups we played as to guess their future baby's gender and name. 🍾

@@clemenceriotteau725Rewatch the video. It’s pretty obvious they have LARGE weddings. Trying to say you can do all this and still have an intimidate wedding…you’d have to change just about EVERYTHING to adjust for the intimidate wedding. Meaning? You CANT do all this and have an intimidate wedding.
@@someoneyoudontknow7705The bride from the video and her luxurious American wedding have nothing to do with an average Russian wedding. Most of Russian weddings have 30-50 guests at max, celebrated in a regular restaurant and last one day only. People can wear any clothes they wish and no one is expected to gift outstanding amounts of $$$. Some guests are explicitly asked not to gift anything since the newlyweds are closely familiar with every single guest and their situation. Only some regions ( in the Caucasus) have large traditional old-style weddings with hundreds of guests. But the lady in the video has NOTHING to do with the Caucasus and their tribal weddings.
South Asian weddings also last several days and we have the gift envelopes with cash as well. I would much rather have cash than other items that might not fit in my tiny new home. Newlyweds are younger and therefore need more practical help starting their new life together.
With videos like these, it's important to remember that Russia is a vast country with so many different traditions. Personally, I've never seen blue/pink boxes at a wedding , or been to one that lasted more than a day. But from the videos I can tell that Nastya and I are from different parts of Russia, so makes sense that customs are different there.
Ведущий предлагает гостям помочь молодым определить, кто у них родится первым: мальчик или девочка. Свидетельница берет ползунки розового цвета, которые символизируют девочку, а свидетель - ползунки голубого цвета, которые символизируют мальчика. Какие ползунки первыми заполнятся деньгам (а деньги, конечно, складывают в ползунки гости), тот и родится первым.
To help people understand how big are these money gifts, I'll give you an example from my country (Romania), where we have the same custom of giving money at weddings: the minimum salary is 460 euros, and the minimum amount left by guests at the wedding is 200 euros (not only does it cover the menu at the restaurant, which is around 50-100 euros, but sometimes it covers all the expenses of the wedding and they have money left). It's not the case for everyone, but if you have a simple wedding, nothing too fancy, and enough guests, you will most likely have all the costs covered.
Erm.. I'm from Russia and this is the first time I've heard about the pink and the blue boxes. I think having those boxes depends either on the region or on the preferences of the couple. True, envelopes with cash in it are the most preferable way to congratulate newlyweds on their wedding. Celebrating a wedding for several days cannot be called a widespread phenomenon. It depends on the financial ability of the family to provide several days of wedding celebration; some couples may just have an official marriage registration in a special organization and then a dinner for family members and friends.
@@Isaidso-hz7kg and that makes it bad because of what exactly?? It’s a beautiful dress and it looks wonderful on her, and many dresses from the 90’s are still as beautiful today as they were then. Some people actually prefer classic and elegant over modern,
How nice especially getting married and having a kid right after they basically help you do that wow I just see win-win… because Russian women are so gorgeous
I'm Russian and I'm marrying next month but never heard about the pink and blue boxes before. I also do not think it is actually customary to celebrate for 2-3 days, maybe it was in the rich houses of the past (as it was in many cultures) but today's weddings last one day more often than not. Idk, I feel like most people I know are rather creative about their weddings and as of a long time there isn't a standart or whatsoever anymore.
2-day weddings were customary village weddings. The last generation who widely celebrated weddings this way were those who were born of village parents in the 50s-70s (even if they were city residents by that time). The reason villages could celebrate multi-day events is because everyone lived in walking distance from each other. Modern young people opt for 1-day weddings.
It can be but doesn't have to. It happens often that one distant relative or the other has a job or a side/main business that can be used for the wedding. I had a distant russian relative have such a wedding once, and they had to pay less than 10k for it all, cause from catering, to bridal gowns and even housing could be distributed among relatives or friends who do it for dirt cheap or even free. In fact, as a kid i even got into jewellery making cause i helped the brides 3rd degree cousin making jewellery for the bride, brides maids, flower girls, etc out of Swarovski crystals, miyuki seed beads and sapphire pearls. Oh yes, and children are usually partaking in russian weddings.
Sadly, yes... my mum and dad had to save money for this while already living together (it wasn't a common thing back at the time, now, of course, it's totally okay). However, parents usually help with the costs, if they have extra money (I'm sure, my father will want to spend a lot on my wedding, he considers it to be his duty as a father) . Especially, if bride and groom are in the begging of their twenties
Bro what thats normal in most of europe as well lmao even in the poorest countries like in Romania our minimum wage is 700 euros yet you are expected to give at leasr 300 as a wedding gift or at least enough to cover up all the costs you would inflict on the hosts/bride& groom if you cant afford more and these are still weddings with 200 to 600 people each and everyone I know has at least 2 weddings a year, you just put money aside beforehand
I love those ideas. I personally did a destination wedding and loved it but I sure do wish there were a few more important ppl there who couldn’t afford to be. That’s the only downfall.
American weddings already are hell on earth to put together and shit always goes wrong imagine a wedding that lasts THREE DAYS and all the traditions and things you have to plan oml that is crazy! You gotta love the commitment folks 😭
My social anxiety and me being an introvert can’t put up with all this 🤦🏽♀️I would be tired of my own wedding if I ever had to cope with that Some hours is enough for me 🌝
Wow dude, your wife is absolutely gorgeous! Your shorts have been popping up on my feed constantly for a few days now so I feel like I’m getting to know y’all!😂 She seems like a super cool girl!

I really wish you both the best, congratulations on your marriage!
in Poland there are weddings that last to around more than a week if everything goes right and alcohol doesnt runs out Usually happens in small villages were half of the people from the village are invited
International Weddings are the BEST! I grew up in an Italian Family that had such great weddings. When I moved to Texas that has the reputation of everything being bigger in Texas maybe so BUT not the typical wedding. My experiences here, some pretty DULL events. Now they even do styrofoam cakes for show only with a thin slice of cake to take home prepackaged in a box.
In Romania is a similar tradition, but luckily, without the baby expectations and the wedding last one day. Regarding the gifted money, it was becoming a competition at some point. If one guest gave a big amount, another one must match or even exceed the amount of money to avoid being "the laugh of the crowd." Nowadays, call-outs aren't that popular, like 30-40 years ago.
Austrian weddings are similar except the pink and blue boxes. And the one responsible for the moderation and games are normally the testimonies of the wedding.
Why don’t you tell where the money thing comes from? Daddy vladdy would have to rewrite his history lessons😂 Thanks for highlighting and its really cool you guys do it too
Not a big fan of the money tradition at weddings, especially with the competive touch (blue box/ pink box). Heard at turkish weddings they even shout out loud the name and how much is given, which pushes people to give more. Also guests already spent quite some money to travel to (sometimes exotic) places. So you need to take a loan to attend a wedding 😂
Shout the name and how much you gave? That's like a horror story to me. Good thing I'm never gonna get invited to a Turkish wedding then 😅 it's cost so much money to go to weddings in other countries. In our country we give money but it is not required only if you can afford it you can give appliances. Just not attend not unless I'm super close with the bride & groom lol
In Russia everyone gives exactly the same standard amount except for uncles/aunts/siblings who might be willing to contribute more if they are wealthier than the newlyweds. But if they are not wealthy, they can give exactly the same amount as all other guests.
@@patman1841 A "bag of potato" that is wealthy enough to travel anywhere in the world on a whim. As well as being able to pull together an international family to a completely different country... All that even before the wedding itself. Go cope somewhere else.
In India, close family and friends either gift jewellery or money. Uncles and aunts of the bride and groom will often offer to pay for a trip or bachelor’s party. Giving good jewellery is almost mandatory for the bride. Even most casual attendees will either gift 2100 or 1100 rupees. Other than that the MOST common gift items are a pressure cooker, a dinner set, a showpiece or something that is used in the household for cooking or hosting
Don't know what region it is as Russian Federation is big, but I've been to several weddings in Saint Petersburg. They didn't last more than 1 day, there were no boxes (never heard of that) and only a few people (like grandmas / close relatives) gifted money. I was a maid of honour in two weddings, also didn't gift any money, and nobody was expecting it. Usually you just go to ceremony, then to restaurant (or a park if the pair is not rich) and then home, done. And yes, often there is a tamada (entertainer), which is really scary for me as an introvert.
@@Gigithewlis Oh to give a speech you mean? :D Thankfully that didn't happen in weddings I attended but yeah that's possible. You have to be prepared with some general statements xD
Exactly, people get married older now days. Most couples already have 2 sets of housewares, then the wedding registry is just a 3rd set of housewares that the couple doesn't need.
Romanian weddings are quite literally the same. Lowest acceptable “fee” for 2 people is 200 euros 😂 if you are closer to them it’s more. If you are godfathering the married couple, the base “fee” is 1000+, depending on how many people from your family attend, plus as godfathers you pay for different facilities. The money you gift is meant to cover the food (menu per person) plus extra for the couple. I went to a wedding of 500+ people, they paid off 30k for the wedding and were left with 25k as a startup gift, all from the money received. First day - actual wedding. Second day - close friends, drinking and eating at a venue and having a mini continuation wedding. Third day - at home with family.
$300+ in one envelope and theres like 15+ of those

uncle means relative, djadja means both relative and a random man (at least middle aged)
The Russian drunk swan dance (or spreading their arms like an airplane) seems to be a universal experience 😂
I would rather have an intimate wedding with people in close to.but I’m happy for people that have this. Just not my style.
You can do all of this while having an intimate wedding.
@@clemenceriotteau725Rewatch the video. It’s pretty obvious they have LARGE weddings. Trying to say you can do all this and still have an intimidate wedding…you’d have to change just about EVERYTHING to adjust for the intimidate wedding. Meaning? You CANT do all this and have an intimidate wedding.
@@someoneyoudontknow7705The bride from the video and her luxurious American wedding have nothing to do with an average Russian wedding. Most of Russian weddings have 30-50 guests at max, celebrated in a regular restaurant and last one day only. People can wear any clothes they wish and no one is expected to gift outstanding amounts of $$$. Some guests are explicitly asked not to gift anything since the newlyweds are closely familiar with every single guest and their situation. Only some regions ( in the Caucasus) have large traditional old-style weddings with hundreds of guests. But the lady in the video has NOTHING to do with the Caucasus and their tribal weddings.
That's not the style for most Russians. Russian weddings are very modest compared to an average American wedding.
South Asian weddings also last several days and we have the gift envelopes with cash as well. I would much rather have cash than other items that might not fit in my tiny new home. Newlyweds are younger and therefore need more practical help starting their new life together.
That’s a beautiful custom.
Нихрена, всю жизнь жила в России и ни разу про коробки разных цветов, куда кладут деньги не слышала.
Я тоже!
У нас в Беларуси для этих целей используют ползунки.
Ну может они решили сделать красиво. На свадьбе знакомых были ползунки, ниже сестричка из Беларуси всё верно сказала
Вообще есть много вариантов, кто-то кладёт в коробки, кто-то в ползунки, в пакеты, в конверты и тд
У меня на свадьбе в ползунки собирали, в розовые - задевочку, в синие - за мальчика🤗
Unbelievably beautiful bride!!!!!!
Money in envelopes is CERTIFIED INDIAN CUSTOM😂😂
With videos like these, it's important to remember that Russia is a vast country with so many different traditions. Personally, I've never seen blue/pink boxes at a wedding , or been to one that lasted more than a day. But from the videos I can tell that Nastya and I are from different parts of Russia, so makes sense that customs are different there.
Ни разу не слышала ничего про розовые и синие коробки
Я тоже, но я не живу в россие
Ползунки обычно, не?)
Ведущий предлагает гостям помочь молодым определить, кто у них родится первым: мальчик или девочка. Свидетельница берет ползунки розового цвета, которые символизируют девочку, а свидетель - ползунки голубого цвета, которые символизируют мальчика. Какие ползунки первыми заполнятся деньгам (а деньги, конечно, складывают в ползунки гости), тот и родится первым.
На всех свадьбах, что я была, были эти коробочки или ползунки..
I gotta find myself a Russian wife that sounds like fun!
Better get going right now. Don’t wait!
You will end up in svo
They bring their own problems, believe me.
Fortunately for you there's much more russian women than men
@@guano1274 yea better try 🏳️🌈👩❤️💋👩👬🎉😂
To help people understand how big are these money gifts, I'll give you an example from my country (Romania), where we have the same custom of giving money at weddings: the minimum salary is 460 euros, and the minimum amount left by guests at the wedding is 200 euros (not only does it cover the menu at the restaurant, which is around 50-100 euros, but sometimes it covers all the expenses of the wedding and they have money left). It's not the case for everyone, but if you have a simple wedding, nothing too fancy, and enough guests, you will most likely have all the costs covered.
Erm.. I'm from Russia and this is the first time I've heard about the pink and the blue boxes. I think having those boxes depends either on the region or on the preferences of the couple. True, envelopes with cash in it are the most preferable way to congratulate newlyweds on their wedding. Celebrating a wedding for several days cannot be called a widespread phenomenon. It depends on the financial ability of the family to provide several days of wedding celebration; some couples may just have an official marriage registration in a special organization and then a dinner for family members and friends.
That dress is absolutely STUNNING on you!!❤️
Not at all. Looks like a wedding dress from 90s
@@Isaidso-hz7kg and that makes it bad because of what exactly?? It’s a beautiful dress and it looks wonderful on her, and many dresses from the 90’s are still as beautiful today as they were then. Some people actually prefer classic and elegant over modern,
Sounds like a fundraiser 💀
So why don't more people throw fake weddings just to rake in the cash, and then divorce later while splitting their earnings? hahaha
It's called supporting the family. Every country outside of America have similar customs
What BEAUTIFUL scenery!!!
Well now I want to have a Russian wedding. AND THAT DRESS ❤❤❤❤
3 days?!?! Im ready to leave when it starts!!! NO WAY!
Indian wedding can last 1 week with activities going from 6:00 am to 12am the next day
How nice especially getting married and having a kid right after they basically help you do that wow I just see win-win… because Russian women are so gorgeous
Wait until you see what happens after they gave birth!

There's so much similarity between Indian and Russian weddings. No wonder both countries bond so well
I'm Russian and I'm marrying next month but never heard about the pink and blue boxes before. I also do not think it is actually customary to celebrate for 2-3 days, maybe it was in the rich houses of the past (as it was in many cultures) but today's weddings last one day more often than not. Idk, I feel like most people I know are rather creative about their weddings and as of a long time there isn't a standart or whatsoever anymore.
2-day weddings were customary village weddings. The last generation who widely celebrated weddings this way were those who were born of village parents in the 50s-70s (even if they were city residents by that time). The reason villages could celebrate multi-day events is because everyone lived in walking distance from each other. Modern young people opt for 1-day weddings.
That sounds like a ridiculously expensive event that very few can actually afford no matter what you say
It can be but doesn't have to. It happens often that one distant relative or the other has a job or a side/main business that can be used for the wedding. I had a distant russian relative have such a wedding once, and they had to pay less than 10k for it all, cause from catering, to bridal gowns and even housing could be distributed among relatives or friends who do it for dirt cheap or even free.
In fact, as a kid i even got into jewellery making cause i helped the brides 3rd degree cousin making jewellery for the bride, brides maids, flower girls, etc out of Swarovski crystals, miyuki seed beads and sapphire pearls.
Oh yes, and children are usually partaking in russian weddings.
Sadly, yes... my mum and dad had to save money for this while already living together (it wasn't a common thing back at the time, now, of course, it's totally okay).
However, parents usually help with the costs, if they have extra money (I'm sure, my father will want to spend a lot on my wedding, he considers it to be his duty as a father) . Especially, if bride and groom are in the begging of their twenties
Bro what thats normal in most of europe as well lmao even in the poorest countries like in Romania our minimum wage is 700 euros yet you are expected to give at leasr 300 as a wedding gift or at least enough to cover up all the costs you would inflict on the hosts/bride& groom if you cant afford more and these are still weddings with 200 to 600 people each and everyone I know has at least 2 weddings a year, you just put money aside beforehand
@@tonyslabu6373 that’s crazy
@@This-Is-My-Little-Corner
Indeed.... 👍🏻
Crazy! 😮 😨
Beautiful bride, venue, wedding in the middle of a war, bless you all for not loosing love and zest for life
Not to forget our Russian saying, "there can't be a wedding without fighting" 😂
I love those ideas. I personally did a destination wedding and loved it but I sure do wish there were a few more important ppl there who couldn’t afford to be. That’s the only downfall.
Russian weddings sound so fun!
American weddings already are hell on earth to put together and shit always goes wrong imagine a wedding that lasts THREE DAYS and all the traditions and things you have to plan oml that is crazy! You gotta love the commitment folks 😭
All American weddings are NOT hell on earth. I've been to several, and my own, and they were nice. Must be the people you know that make it hell.
😂😂 sounds like Angola! Except the kid thing 😅
My parent's wedding was similar. Their first house was bought with all the wedding gift money.
Africans have large families, so we support each other.
Now I want a Russian wedding
It's also customary here in Serbia to bring money. I thought it was like that everywhere in the world.
Beautiful. I'm from U.S.A. and your Russian wedding is perfect. I would have loved one like that.
My social anxiety and me being an introvert can’t put up with all this 🤦🏽♀️I would be tired of my own wedding if I ever had to cope with that
Some hours is enough for me 🌝
Beautiful dress, I think that’s one of the prettiest ones I’ve seen
She is gorgeous
American Weddings feel like a friendly family dinner with a white cake and dressed up dolls (the bride&groom)
In Russian wedding couples usually have 15 blenders, 2-3 hoover, 5 irons, 1 mixer e.t.c as a gifts 🤣🤣🤣
Y'all really spending a whole weekend at the wedding. 😂
Wow dude, your wife is absolutely gorgeous! Your shorts have been popping up on my feed constantly for a few days now so I feel like I’m getting to know y’all!😂 She seems like a super cool girl! From what I’ve seen you’ve caught the catch of a lifetime. I really like your videos about showing her America, Walmart used to sell walls? The red stripes on the flag are for DJT and MAGA? Love it!
I really wish you both the best, congratulations on your marriage!
in Poland there are weddings that last to around more than a week if everything goes right and alcohol doesnt runs out
Usually happens in small villages were half of the people from the village are invited
International Weddings are the BEST! I grew up in an Italian Family that had such great weddings. When I moved to Texas that has the reputation of everything being bigger in Texas maybe so BUT not the typical wedding. My experiences here, some pretty DULL events. Now they even do styrofoam cakes for show only with a thin slice of cake to take home prepackaged in a box.
Nastya you look absolutely stunning in your wedding dress. Thomas is a very lucky man!
Especially Honeymoon Night ..ohh yeah.. LOL
Congratulations to you and Tom and thank you for seeing us in Dubai and taking a picture with my siblings and I it was a great gift for my birthday❤
That’s a thing here in America too, it’s just not customary or expected. But what is expected is a nice gift off of the couples registry
That is a stunning gown and she looks amazing!! I think the Russians know how to have a party🎉🎉
Oh my goodness! She's stunning
Красивая пара❤счастья вам😊
What part of Russia is this, BECAUSE IM COMMING 😂
In Romania is a similar tradition, but luckily, without the baby expectations and the wedding last one day. Regarding the gifted money, it was becoming a competition at some point. If one guest gave a big amount, another one must match or even exceed the amount of money to avoid being "the laugh of the crowd." Nowadays, call-outs aren't that popular, like 30-40 years ago.
Italian weddings are similar. No blue or pink boxes though.
You dress is gorgeous
Congratz❤
"Have you ever been to an American wedding? Where's the vodka? Where's the pickled herring?"
Austrian weddings are similar except the pink and blue boxes. And the one responsible for the moderation and games are normally the testimonies of the wedding.
I have to say I learn more information from this Channel than Tom's 😂
Oh the box picks which child they have first? The guest say so? 😂😂😂😂 I bet half the time the boxes are wrong 😂😂
Why don’t you tell where the money thing comes from?
Daddy vladdy would have to rewrite his history lessons😂
Thanks for highlighting and its really cool you guys do it too
Not a big fan of the money tradition at weddings, especially with the competive touch (blue box/ pink box). Heard at turkish weddings they even shout out loud the name and how much is given, which pushes people to give more. Also guests already spent quite some money to travel to (sometimes exotic) places. So you need to take a loan to attend a wedding 😂
Shout the name and how much you gave? That's like a horror story to me. Good thing I'm never gonna get invited to a Turkish wedding then 😅 it's cost so much money to go to weddings in other countries. In our country we give money but it is not required only if you can afford it you can give appliances. Just not attend not unless I'm super close with the bride & groom lol
In Russia everyone gives exactly the same standard amount except for uncles/aunts/siblings who might be willing to contribute more if they are wealthier than the newlyweds. But if they are not wealthy, they can give exactly the same amount as all other guests.
Bro had to go halfway around the work to find a woman worth marrying, makes sense😂😂
Her ex lies somwhere in the Kharkiv region, watching how sunflowers grow from below. But she got a bag of potato so all good
@@patman1841 A "bag of potato" that is wealthy enough to travel anywhere in the world on a whim. As well as being able to pull together an international family to a completely different country... All that even before the wedding itself.
Go cope somewhere else.
The biggest difference is that at Russian weddings everyone gets wasted and there’s usually a fight or 2 at the end.
In India, close family and friends either gift jewellery or money. Uncles and aunts of the bride and groom will often offer to pay for a trip or bachelor’s party. Giving good jewellery is almost mandatory for the bride. Even most casual attendees will either gift 2100 or 1100 rupees. Other than that the MOST common gift items are a pressure cooker, a dinner set, a showpiece or something that is used in the household for cooking or hosting
Why does this remind me most Asain weddings I have gone to where you give cash in an envelope to help bride and groom start new life together.
Also, what a Tamada traditionally does is often similar to what geikos do. Drunk competitions, jokes, inviting performers to sing and dance etc.
The first reason is good enough for me to go to Russia 😂
Well dang, this would be better than my $35 wedding
Don't know what region it is as Russian Federation is big, but I've been to several weddings in Saint Petersburg. They didn't last more than 1 day, there were no boxes (never heard of that) and only a few people (like grandmas / close relatives) gifted money. I was a maid of honour in two weddings, also didn't gift any money, and nobody was expecting it. Usually you just go to ceremony, then to restaurant (or a park if the pair is not rich) and then home, done. And yes, often there is a tamada (entertainer), which is really scary for me as an introvert.
The scariest part is when they force you to give a toast to the newly weds 😨
@@Gigithewlis Oh to give a speech you mean? :D Thankfully that didn't happen in weddings I attended but yeah that's possible. You have to be prepared with some general statements xD
Would have loved to see the two fathers meet
Hard cash is always the best present for a young couple!
For anyone, honestly
Exactly, people get married older now days. Most couples already have 2 sets of housewares, then the wedding registry is just a 3rd set of housewares that the couple doesn't need.
Romanian weddings are quite literally the same. Lowest acceptable “fee” for 2 people is 200 euros 😂 if you are closer to them it’s more. If you are godfathering the married couple, the base “fee” is 1000+, depending on how many people from your family attend, plus as godfathers you pay for different facilities. The money you gift is meant to cover the food (menu per person) plus extra for the couple. I went to a wedding of 500+ people, they paid off 30k for the wedding and were left with 25k as a startup gift, all from the money received.
First day - actual wedding. Second day - close friends, drinking and eating at a venue and having a mini continuation wedding. Third day - at home with family.
That gown is gorgeous!!
Russian weddings are similar to Chinese ones.
I heard about chinese weddings. They having like a dinner for couple of hours and then everybody leave
In my country, we get appetizers, three course meals(soup,fish meal,meat meal),dessert and karaoke or a singer to finish the night until early morning
