FLYING AWAY

MARRIAGE IN THE MODERN WORLD

What is the role of marriage nowadays? More and more people prefer to stay independent or live with their partner without being officially registered. They do not see the point in being married or accept only economic reasons for it. However, there are still many people who dream about their wedding day as of the most romantic day of their lives.

INTERESTING WEDDING TRADITIONS

Wedding is mostly perceive as an act of love and commitment when you decide to spend your whole life with your lover. Western books, films and mass media were creating this image for centuries. We all have seen these ceremonies: beautiful bridge in white dresses, many guests drinking and cheering, pigeons flying away into the sky and an enormous wedding cake. Anyway, there are also many countries that have a different understanding of this civil act or in the way this festive day is celebrated. For example:

• In India and Nepal small family gathering to celebrate a wedding day are not possible! If you are getting married, you should invite everyone: not only colleagues and distant relatives but also strangers from the street!
• In Russia hospitality is a big issue. You have to provide your guests with enormous amounts of food and drinks, so that everyone would be happy. That is why weddings in this country are usually celebrated in restaurants or at home.
• In Congo smiling during getting married is not allowed. People of this country believe that marriage is a very serious deal, so new-weds are forbidden to have fun at their own wedding!
• In Brazil best men and bridesmaids are always selected during the wedding and never before. Also, it is good luck to have many of them, not just two or three.

So, as you can see, the traditions vary enormously from country to country. The thing that remains untouched is a profound sensation of affection between a groom and a bride.

On this painting by Leonid Afremov, who is very famous nowadays for his unusual impressionistic technique and perfect taste, you can see a married couple strolling down the alley. Their figures lean towards each other under the umbrella in the most gentle manner. Yellow color dominates this picture and creates the sensation of flying away in a world of peace and harmony. The light of the street lamps looks extremely realistic and casts light into the room.
