BEFORE THE ACTUAL WEDDING CEREMONY, THE MAN STANDING
UP WITH THE MATRON OF HONOR IN A ROMANIAN WEDDING
"BUYS" THE BRIDE FROM THE FATHER FOR AN AMOUNT
WHICH THEY BARGAIN FOR. THE AMOUNT IS THEN GIVEN
TO THE YOUNG COUPLE FOR THEIR HOUSEHOLD FURNISHINGS.
Submitter comment:
INFORMANT SAID THAT DESPITE THE TREND IN MODERN
MARRIAGES, THIS IS STILL PRACTICED IN ALL ROMANIAN
WEDDINGS.
