Wedding

Yesterday I attended my cousin's wedding.  It was a very interesting experience because I hadn't been to a wedding in a long time.  When I was little, I was the flower girl at several weddings, but I don't remember too much from any of them.  Although all of those weddings were in Romania, I had never been to a traditional Romanian Orthodox wedding.  I was a little nervous at first because I wan't sure what it would be like or if I would enjoy it at all, but it turned out to be a pleasant experience.

From what I hear, the procedure was much like most of the weddings done here.  It took place in August, which is the usual month for Romanian weddings.  I was happy that it was a cool day because August is usually really hot here.  There was the civil service in the morning, but we didn't attend that.  However, we were there for the church service, though not many people came to the church service and it didn't last really long.  After the church, we walked over to the park to take several pictures, including the one above and the one below.

Following the pictures was of course the dance party that went on allllll night.  I wasn't too sure how this would go because I get pretty tired at all-nighter parties and can't dance for the life of me.  The party ended up being surprisingly lively and fun.  I even tried a few dances.
