Traditional Wedding in my Native County

In my county Moldova a couple gets married in a government building. People get married at age 18. Before the registration the groom dresses in a black or white suit and bride wears a white dress. They go to register in the government building with Mendelssohn music playing. Then they go to church for the wedding ceremony. They exchange rings. After they go home or to a restaurant for the reception. The traditional foods are potatoes, chicken, fish, steak, and different desserts and drinks (water and juice.) Sometimes parents present tickets to the honeymoon (to the sea, to mountains, to Turkey.) After the honeymoon, newly–weds rent an apartment and live separate from parents.
