Weddings in my country

Armenian wedding is a very big holiday. The ceremony includes betrothal, engagement and wedding itself. All the relatives and family friends are invited, presents are bought, and food is cooked. All so that everyone can celebrate the health and success of the new couple. As a rule the closest married couple known by the groom and the bride is the God family. The Godfather must bring the most expensive wedding gift. By the way, giving presents is a separate ceremony. The relatives of the groom and the bride and the guests give the newly-married couple jewelry, fabrics, household goods, and money. Armenian weddings are more of a celebration for the parents, and cost a lot of money, that is why parents are the ones who mostly pay for it. But nowdays there are couples who prefer a smaller party with their closest people, friends and minimal traditions. Personally I think that armenian weddings are really beautiful, but everyone has the right to not follow the traditions and choose how to celebrate their special day without being judged.
