Russian weddings last for two days!

• A loaf of bread, symbolizing health, long life and prosperity, is bitten into during the ceremony by both the bride and the groom.  Whoever takes the biggest bite wears the pants in the family!


• Russian wedding parties ride around their city in decorated cars, leaving flowers at historical sites.


• If a Russian groom takes his eyes off his bride, she can be "kidnapped" and the groom must pay a ransom.


• Russians wear their wedding rings on their right hand.  The bands are traditionally three interwoven bands of gold or tri-gold.
