Keeping Tatar Traditions Alive With A Crimean Wedding

Ensuring the celebrants wear traditional dress is an important part of any nuptials. 

The bride kisses her husband's hand, a traditional sign of respect given after marriage vows have been exchanged. 

The bride and groom take the lead in dancing after the civil formalities have been taken care of. 

Weddings are usually a multigenerational afair. 

The happy couple depart as they embark on a new life together. It will probably be some time before they will next have an opportunity to see many of the guests who attended their wedding.
