Veliky Novgorod, Russia
Russia is the largest country in the world, and it is the home of over 185 different ethnic groups, many of which speak a different dialect and maintain a different culture. In the city of Veliky Novgorod, weddings often last as long as a week. The Eastern Orthodox church is the predominant form of weddings in Russia, where the ceremony is similar to the one we know.
The outfits, however, are different. Even modern day weddings in Novgorod include traditional wedding outfits, which means a long red and white dress for the bride and matching outfits for the bridesmaids. The most important part are the crowns worn by both the bride and groom throughout the wedding festivities.
