This video has captured a traditional Armenian
wedding. Throughout the five minutes, the video
shows all the important aspects of the wedding.
For example, the guy has his suit jacket being twisted around his head
before he wears it, and the girl dances out of her room to meet her guest after
she finishes getting dressed. Both the
bride and the groom have a small celebration in their home before the groom
comes to pick up the bride. The groom
and his side of the family go to the bride's house before the ceremony in order
to take the large gift baskets filled with chocolates and alcoholic beverages. Both of the families dance together at the
bride's house and there are men playing instruments. For the ceremony, the bride and groom have the wedding in a
church and instead of exchanging vows,
they exchange rings and both kiss a cross. As for the reception, after all the guests are seated, the newlywed
couple dance their way in and share their first dance together as a married
couple. The night continues with all the
guests joining the couple on the dance floor.
Towards the end of the wedding, the groomsmen carry the bride and groom
so that they may dance together in the air.
Just as the bride tosses the bouquet, the groom tosses the bride's garter. It has always been a tradition to have a huge
cake at the Armenian weddings, just like it is shown in the video.
