It will save you some money (because you decide what ingredients to use) and will help to move the line faster.

At the traditional Bulgarian wedding, there is a curious ceremony – the groom is shaven by his best man.

This ritual symbolizes the man’s transition from childhood to adulthood. And it is rather popular among Bulgarians.

It’s also great to combine lanterns with flowers to create the “plush night garden” effect.

This is a great way for the couple’s closest relatives to make some money for the bride and groom. Their unmarried siblings wear funny socks and perform a funny dance at the wedding party.
