More Wedding Pictures

I thought I would post some more wedding pictures. The parents congratulate the new couple, just after the prayer blessings. The mother holds a karavai, a special loaf of semi-sweet bread, with a small cup of salt on top. The young couple breaks off a piece and eat it. Later in the evening, each person will be asked to break off a piece as the parents carry it from person to person. At a non-Christian wedding, you are also supposed to do a shot of vodka with it.
