Romanian Weddings
The wedding is the most interesting family custom
of all. It is also a complex custom which has various traditional forms all
over the country and combines economic, law, ritual and folkloric elements.
The popular "show" is almost fabulous. The acts from the marriage foundation
are ritual and ceremonial meant to bring prosperity, fecundity, happiness
and social integration to the young family. In this moment the popular
costume gains some specific significances and the act of the ceremony is
composed from many customs: the well - wishing at the bride's gate, the
dowry dance in the bride's yard and the parents forgiveness, then the
wedding at the groom's house, the gifts and the bride's adorning.The musical
repertoire is suitable: "the dowry dance", "the big dance", "three times
around the table", "the bride's grief song", "the bride's ring dance", "and
the big ring dance".
MOLDOVA:
Moldavian marriage is a bouquet of traditions and culture. People
sit together and are served with food and wine. Traditional dances also take
place. In Moldova, people speak of "wedding parties" instead of just
"weddings,” The wedding ceremony itself isn’t the focus of the festivities;
it can be a small, understated event leading up to the wedding party proper,
usually an all-night celebration.Wedding ceremonies today are held at "casa
mare" or House of happiness. The modern ceremony includes the old wedding
custom of bowing to the parents as a token of gratitude and respect. The
traditional wedding party is magnificent in its arrangement, and intense
from the moral ethical point of view. The singing and dancing continues
until the daybreak. At dawn everyone sits down for a minute and the bride is
given a child to hold in her arms. According to tradition, the bride will
then be sure to have a home full of children. The young husband then leads
her to the threshold of their house. But before they step over the threshold
the couple is showered with grain - a sign of prosperity.
A Moldovian maxim says: "The person who has failed to build a home, to raise
a son, to dig a well and to plant a tree has wasted his life". That's why
the Moldovian villages are so green, the houses are so beautiful and you can
see wells along the streets.
