Wedding traditions in Georgia are kept by the people of this country for many centuries passing on to new generations.

Of course, not all young couples in Georgia now observe the wedding traditions of older generations. However, most of the lovers pay tribute to traditions. The wedding consists of several stages. First the matchmaking, then the engagement, and only then the wedding ceremony. There was a time when parents chose life partners for their children. Now the younger generation is making this choice independently. However, there is a very important condition. The marriage of the young will take place only if it is approved by the parents of both the bride and groom.

There is a beautiful wedding tradition in Georgia. On the wedding day, the groom releases a white bird from the roof of his house. Then he goes down to the street to his fiancee. They drink wine from the same glass, into which the groom drops the ring. Then a beautiful oath sounds, in which the groom speaks of his fidelity and love for life. After all these rites, the chosen one enters the house of her future husband, where she will soon become the mistress.

A wedding is a prerequisite, because Georgians honor God very much. As a rule, the wedding and registration take place on the same day. After these events, the next stage begins — a festive feast, which usually takes place in a restaurant or on a large equipped outdoor area. After all, not every house is able to accommodate all those invited. It is in Georgian traditions to set a chic table with a large number of different dishes and drinks. It is customary to make an expensive gift or money for a wedding.

There are many wonderful places for a wedding, and there will be a unique atmosphere everywhere. The most popular places for weddings in Georgia are the regions of Kazbegi and Kakheti. There are several other cities that are loved by the newlyweds. Such as Vardzia, Batumi and Mtskheta. Whichever of these places you choose, beautiful architecture, its own history and traditions will be waiting for you everywhere.

Most of the population in Georgia is Orthodox. Accordingly, the church is also, which means that the wedding in the church is no different from the Russian Church. The conditions for the Wedding are the same: the religion of Orthodoxy and the beloved must be baptized. These conditions are very beneficial for couples who come from Russia.

The most popular city among those wishing to get married in Georgia is Sighnaghi, which is located in a very picturesque region of Kakheti. This town also has a second name — the city of all lovers. One of the reasons to think so was the story of the famous Georgian talented artist Niko Pirosmani. He was known not only for his talents, but also for stories about his love for a French actress who did not reciprocate him. Even when he sold his house with all the buildings adjacent to it, and spent the money on flowers for his beloved, which were placed in baskets all over the street in front of his beloved's windows. By the way, this story became the plot of the song "A Million Scarlet Roses".

There is also a 24-hour Wedding House in Sighnaghi, which also attracts couples who want to register their marriage at dawn or at sunset, or at night. There is a guard at the entrance who will tell you how to do it and how much it will cost.
