In ancient times it was almost always the husband chose the bride’s father. More often than not only the bride does not know what could the groom is often at his age.
The royal wedding was in two parts, not less than one year each. One was the pre-commitment ceremony began as a blessing for the wine. This blessing was known as a prayer of sanctification. When the girls decided to visit the house now, there was a need for three things: a lot of money to the bride, the contract for its pledge to the bride, and pay for containers of wine. If the father consented to the marriage, was her name, and everyone drank wine to be blessed. As I drank wine, agreed to marry young.
At the time, both married, but are unable to live together again. It looks like a commitment, and was known as the first part of the wedding ceremony. After the ceremony, the young leaves with the addition of a room in the house of the father of his wife’s room to prepare to live, work, and say that he was back when finished.

When the witness saw that the bride with the ring of people accepted and heard the words of the marriage, the couple was officially married. After the ceremony, the last piece of the bridegroom traditionally takes a glass for customers to remember that love is fragile.
After the ceremony, the couple went to a wedding chamber for seven days. After seven days the bride and the bridegroom came, and the wedding begins.
