Macedonian Wedding TraditionsThe most celebrated day in a couple's life is their wedding day. Many times, it is also important to them to keep family traditions and culture customs alive during their wedding day. Macedonians are one of the people who, still celebrate many of the wedding customs from their previous generations. The night before the wedding ceremony, the guests and family feast and dance. Finally, the next morning, relatives and close family members get together at the groom's house for the groom-shaving ritual. The godparents are called the kolak and kvas. They together ceremoniously give the groom his last shave as a single man. The guests and other family members sing, dance and feast. During the wedding ceremony, the wedding couple participate in the “breaking of the bread” ritual. This is used to determine who will “wear the pants” in the new marriage. After the wedding ceremony, the males perform the Macedonian Pig Dance at the reception. They carry bottles of wine, forks, and knives, and dance into the reception carrying a roasted pig. This symbolizes the couple’s first meal together as husband and wife. The men dance, shout, and whistle in front of the wedding couple, demanding a “payment” for the feast, and continue to dance until they are satisfied with the amount paid. Many of these traditions are from the earliest tribes of Macedonia, but people today still celebrate them. Traditions are what make your wedding day a meaningful and unforgettable event that you will remember for the rest of your life. We would love to hear your thoughts.

When you add in the stress of planning a wedding there are new factors that affect how you make a point, debate or even argue . Discuss what things you would like to remove from your current pattern as well as those things that you feel work well . Moving Your current job may never have you moving but who knows what the future holds . Your partner may have always planned to live somewhere else in their future . Regardless if there is nothing like this in your plans currently it most certainly needs to be discussed to make sure you know what each other's expectations are. Children We are all products of our experiences and this includes how we were raised and our ideas on parenting. Having different styles in parenting could very well create a huge divide in a relationship in the future. Pressures How you deal with pressure and obstacles has always been a personal thing . Moving forward you will part of a team . If you are someone that internalizes how you deal with adverse situations this is something else that will defiantly cause friction in a marriage Parents The subject of parents is two-fold. Your current relationship could defiantly be different with your parents in comparison to your partner's . That in itself can be one factor to cause issue but also what will happen to your parents as they age can be another . You may be planning to move your elderly parents into your home in their latter years while you partner would feel that it is ok to have them live in care facility. Who will be responsible for those costs ? Finances The most important discussion before tying the knot would be about your financial situation . Many people are not honest about this and it is the #1 reason for divorce currently . If you have poor credit then working together to improve that as a couple is extremely important . It is one of the best things that you can do to strengthen your standing as a couple ...at the end of the day these are just a few of the major subjects that you should table before having the marriage discussion.

Your Wedding Reception Food
Something that people often remember when they go to a
wedding reception is the food, whether it’s good or bad. Something to consider when you are choosing your wedding menu is your guests. Yes, it’s your wedding but you are spending a lot of money so you want people to like what is being served. Here are some tips so that people enjoy your reception food. Give them a choice - It is always a good idea to offer your guests a choice on what they would like to eat for your wedding reception. People may have food allergies, so this way they can choose what they would like to eat. Two choices is enough. Keep it simple - Just because it's not something fancy, it doesn't meant that it won't be good. If they are faced with something that they aren't sure what it is, they may be reluctant to eat it so don't go for things that people can't identify. Keep it clean - Everyone at your wedding reception is going to be wearing their best clothes. You want to stay away from food that is very messy or could cause stains that will be hard to remove. Remember, you are going to be wearing your wedding outfit. The last thing you will want is to have something spill on it that may ruin it, or will be very noticeable. Think about what you have had in the past at wedding receptions, and what you liked or didnít like about them. That will help you plan your own wedding reception menu.

they think about are the wedding couple , of course, the wedding party, the flowers and the wedding reception.But there is a lot more to a wedding than that, and this is how others can be involved if the wedding party has been filled. Guest Book Attendant - This is one of the jobs that can be offered to a friend who wasn’t included in the wedding party but still wants to help. This person will encourage the guests to sign the book and leave a message for the couple if they wish. It may seem like a small job, but its important. Bird Seed Bag Attendants - Another job that is available to friends of the wedding couple is to give everyone bags of bird seed after the ceremony. This can be done by one or two people, depending on how many people are attending the wedding. Scripture readings - If the wedding couple are having a ceremony that includes a lot of scripture readings, this is another nice touch to the ceremony, and can make your friends feel like a special part of your day. Car decorating - This can be a perfect job for a couple of guys who aren’t ushers. They can go out to the wedding car and decorate it for the drive to where the reception is being held.
