Masha's family lives here in Irpene. The wedding of her sister, Tanya and Slovic was here in Irpene. We worked Thurday night and most of Friday to get ready for the wedding. The decorations were beautiful. Masha maybe got 2 hours sleep.
We arrived Sat and helped put the silverware on the tables. Then off to the wedding. It was supposed to start at 12. After 11 part of it began.
The retired President of the Babtist Assoc preformed the ceremony. There was a orchestra and a group of singers. We did not understand all of the ceremony. It is tradtion to give them a beautiful bread for their wedding. At 12 they went out and the wedding began? So I'm not sure what was before 12 but it seemed important to me. After the ceremony people brought them flowers. We enjoyed it. All the children sat and behaved!
Then we helped take the decorations to the reception. They served tons of food. We loved it. Even Vlad ate enough. People talked the entire time. A lady, MC talked most of the time and asked others questions. Two groups sang. We had a break and we all went outside. People greated the couple and gave them gifts. Then we went back inside to have sweets, sons of sweets. By end it was after 6. We helped clean up and walked back to the home....tired. We had a quiet evening.
