Wedding in Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan has several wedding traditions. A groom buys wedding bands and a wedding dress. The bride wears a white dress and the groom wears a black or white suit. In my country marriages are based on Love, they are not arranged. One of the traditions is that the groom asks for bride’s hand from her parents.
During the wedding ceremony there are usually relatives and friends present. Wedding is usually celebrated in a big restaurant or banquet room, where guests give gifts, say toasts, play games and dance a lot. At the end of the party, a bride throws her wedding flowers in a crowd of single ladies to catch. Then newlyweds leave in a wedding decorated car.
