Traditions and rituals

15. January, 2022

Our wedding agency has been in the wedding industry for 6 years. We offer: planning and organization of weddings and baptisms, and other celebrations. We plan all the wedding or a part of it: prepare the scenario of the day, the plan and the route of the new couple. We work with various service providers so that we can offer a wider range of offers to young couples.

Our special offer is offering traditional and non-traditional rituals at weddings or baptisms, where a special scenario is developed for a young couple. Sometimes young couples choose already widely spoken bridges and key locks. We operate from the traditions inherited from ancestral ancestors, we choose especially for the couple. Sometimes we use the words of folk songs and signs, then together we form such a strong trinity, usually such pairs are rare, but as we say “a strong family is born”. Our ancestors have left a very strong legacy, which is no longer cultivated today, because most often they do not know about it. In the past, it was believed what the first foundations on a wedding day would lay such a married life!

Most often we do not publish these rituals, because they are very unique, for each couple – their own. As we say, “God protects these new family rituals,” because sometimes the pictures are blurry just when the rituals are performed. Every young couple, on their special wedding day, when they are laying the foundations for their marriage, wants to put them in a way that will make the family’s roots stronger, stronger in love and reconciliation. For example, a young husband and wife come from very different backgrounds, each with strong family behind them. On the wedding day,  couple will have strong rituals to unite the two families and form a strong new family. How does it work in life? Of course, it will not be easy for both families to get together with their established traditions, but here the ritual establishes novelty by creating new family rituals that bring both families closer together. It works  the mental and physical.

When a couple comes to a meeting, during conversation an example of a unique ritual is mentioned, but it is always different for everyone, exactly what they should hear perhaps. Sometimes the rituals find the new couple themselves. A word from what they say in front of a fairy tale or an action, other times a ritual just before the wedding is revealed. We work with books of ancient heritage, which reveal customs and traditions.

An example of a ritual is the blessing of mother and father. The mother gives the blessing to her daughter at the wedding by giving her the dress she had worn while she was expecting her daughter (the bride), this also symbolizes the transfer of fertility to her mother (and the mother really kept it). A young husband had to receive a blessing from the bride’s father in order to give a long marriage and care for his wife and family (as it turned out the father had a very long married life with his real and only one). Each couple has their own story and family. Some will benefit from this ritual, some will not. But everything is based on faith, faith in the good, the beautiful love and respect for each other.

The most unusual ritual, tradition – it could be called – a ritual in a more modern performance. There is a ritual: that a young couple on the evening of the wedding day, both of them, have to wash from the same bowl, to live in harmony and love. Well, one couple wanted it very, very much. Then we gave a small bowl of water and counted the words of strength together. Then they had to wash each other’s faces, trying not to splash the water. Water splashes -unnecessary rumors, you don’t need it. After that, there is a time to themselves, but it was their own.
