Just some hints for a lot of posters here that seem to be not familiarised with the local (Romanian) traditions:
Just some hints for a lot of posters here that seem to be not familiarised with the local (Romanian) traditions:
1. This wasn't the "main wedding" though it legally marked the family founding. So it's called " the civil wedding" and usually the bride's dress may not be white, still some light colors (pale tones) are recommended.
2. The "main wedding" is a religious wedding and the pair are not allowed to this event if the civil wedding is not officialized. They need to come to the priest with the proof they are legally married (there is a so-called "marriage certificate").
3. The party after the religious ceremonial is by far the most important. After the civil wedding, they organize just a smaller party (Simona and her husband had now "only" 300 invitees).
4. Most of the people go for the religious wedding right after the civil wedding (later in the day or the very next day) but there are exceptions given by some hindrances that may occur in the program of the bride and/or the groom. On the orthodox Christians, the religious wedding is on a Sunday that is out of a fasting period.
5. During the religious wedding the bride is dressed in white and the dress is carefully selected and adjusted a long way before the event.
6. Unlike the Catholics, the Orthodox Church allows divorced people to be married again if it's somehow proven that they were not "guilty" for divorcing the previous time(s).
7. Guess they were not going for the religious wedding right now because of the COVID restrictions and maybe they planned to do it next summer when they can invite more persons from abroad because the traveling restrictions will be diminished.
