WHEN A SLOVAKIAN GIRL BECOMES MARRIED, AT THE WEDDING
RECEPTION THEY PERFORM A "BRIDAL DANCE." A CEREMONY IS
PERFORMED BEFORE THE DANCE WHEREBY THE BRIDE'S MOTHER
REMOVES HER WEDDING VEIL AND TIES A WHITE RIBBON ON
HER HEAD. THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS IS THAT THE BRIDE'S
MOTHER IS GIVING UP HER DAUGHTER TO HER NEW HUSBAND.
