Evdokia Erdnieva, about post-wedding customs

Evdokia says the following: At weddings people sit at the table according to their age. After the bride is brought into the groom’s house, she is introduced to all his relatives. The bride bows to each of them. She also offers them tea. The groom’s relatives give her presents – milk, butter, tea – and utter well-wishes. She is reminded to respect the groom’s relatives all the time. The bride should never sit on the bed that belongs to her in-laws. She cannot show her hair or go barefoot in front of her in-laws.Sponsored by Arcadia Fund, a charitable fund of Lisbet Rausing and Peter Baldwin
