This reception was a little bit different than most. It started at 4pm and ended at 4am the next day. That is nothing new in Romania where in many parts of the country a wedding lasts for three days. However, it is not the norm around here.
It did however started like usual with the first dance of the newly wed couple …
And I love this moment between Alex and Crina …
Another new thing (for many of you) is that they had traditional Romanian singer, all dressed up in a national costume (different parts of the county have different traditional costumes). This is the equivalent of a country singer in US.
As well as all the cool new songs … the atmosphere was electrifying …
The cake cutting started innocent …
… it is not how it ended …
And the negotiations start …. It’s another Romanian tradition: bride-napping (it even made the Huffingtonpost)
… and a few bottles of Champagne later ….
… got his bride back
I didn’t stay until the end, but it was a lot of fun. I will let you with another portrait of the beautiful couple.
