RUSSIAN WEDDING CUSTOM

IT IS CUSTOMARY FOR THE BRIDE AND GROOM TO MAKE A
A TOAST WITH EVERY MALE GUEST AT THE RECEPTION.
SINCE THIS WOULD MEAN TOTAL DISTRUCTION FOR THE GROOM
AND BRIDE, THEY ONLY HAVE ONE DRINK AS A TOKEN, THEN
THE BEST MAN TAKES THE NEWLYWEDS PLACE AND HE HAS
THE DRINKS WITH EVERY MALE GUEST.
