Wedding #1

The first wedding (out of the 3 in total we will be attending) was yesterday.
A Bulgarian guy was getting married to a Czech colleague of mine.

Me, Martin and a friend drove to the house of the bride to be. We were meet there by the relatives of the bride. We were offered sausages and sweet stuff.
The guys decorated the car. Me and my friend finally got to see the bride.
Other guests started to show up as well. And last but not least the groom appeared with his family and friends.

According to Czech tradition the groom has to be in the car, followed by the guests and in the last car - the bride.
In this order we made it from the brides home to the castle in Lytomysl. Again according to some tradition the bride is entering through the main entrance, as where the rest including the groom from a side one.
Many girls in Czech Republic choose to get married in a castle and to be honest I never got it until now. We entered the room where the ceremony was going to take place and were welcomed by music played on piano and flute. After everyone had placed himself somewhere the Meyer of the city came and started his speech.
The bride came in the meanwhile. It was a very emotional moment. The brides dad was crying, I felt crying on several occasions...and one could see tears in the eyes of the majority of people around. After the rings were given to each other the new family went to some part of the castle for pictures and to the guests of the castle was offered sightseeing tour in the castle. Me and Martin left though.
We took a short walk in the garden where meanwhile had appeared sun.
After the castle we went to the restaurant where we spend the time till midnight maybe. I don't know how much I drank but today was hard day. Reason might be that yesterday all day was around 5,6 degrees...and I was walking with the outfit below whether covered with a jacket or a scarf...
Both me and Martin recover today but you guys stay tuned:P as there will be pics
