AT UKRAINIAN WEDDING RECEPTIONS, THE COUPLE GOES UP
AND KNEELS BEFORE THEIR PARENTS. THE PARENTS GIVE
THEM THEIR BLESSING AND HAND THEM A LOAF OF BREAD
AND SOME SALT. THE BREAD REPRESENTS THE HOPE THAT
THEY WILL ALWAYS HAVE PLENTY TO EAT AND THE SALT
REPRESENTS GOOD LUCK.

AS THE BRIDE AND GROOM ENTER THE RECEPTION HALL AFTER
THE MARRIAGE CEREMONY, THE FATHER AND MOTHER OF THE
BRIDE ASK HER WHAT SHE WANTS; BREAD, SALT OR THE
GROOM. (THEY HOLD BREAD AND SALT IN THEIR HANDS.)
THE BRIDE REPLIES THAT SHE WANTS THE GROOM, SO HE
CAN GO OUT AND WORK FOR THE BREAD AND SALT.
