Wedding a ceremony accompanying an act of marriage. In the early stages of social development—the period of the matrilineal clan—the wedding was a simple ritual. It became elaborate during the patriarchal period, when monogamy and patrilocal residence became established. The culminating moment in the wedding ceremonies of all peoples is the bride’s passage, usually by vehicle, from the house of the parents to that of the bridegroom. This act represents a woman’s acceptance into a new family and, as a rule, is accompanied by the exchange of gifts, a lavish meal, and festivities. Also taking part in a wedding are the relatives of the bride and groom and others, for example, matchmakers and groomsmen. Wedding traditions vary widely. Often there is a staged abduction of the bride by the groom and his friends, which is met with the feigned resistance of the bride and her kin. This custom and other such customs reflect that period in the history of marriage when the practice of patrilocal residence was being established and a woman found herself subjected to the authority of her husband and her husband’s family. In the period of the disintegration of the patriarchy, women were paid for because they were viewed as members of the work  Figure 1.

force. The bride-price was known as veno among some European peoples and kalym among Mongolians and Turkic peoples. The “sale” of the bride was often dramatized in the wedding ceremony. The custom of looking over prospective brides was also introduced. Many wedding rituals are associated with religious or magical beliefs and are supposed to protect the newlyweds from “evil spirits” and illness. In prerevolutionary times in the Caucasus, the mountains of Tadzhikistan, and the area that is now Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Oblast, fire and the hearth (the protector of the home) were worshiped. A woman’s passage from one family to another included her formal leavetaking from the hearth in her husband’s home. At Slavic and Caucasian weddings the newlyweds are showered with grain, flour, hops, nuts, and other foods, a tradition symbolizing abundance and good fortune. Special clothing for the bride, groom, and other participants in a wedding became an important part of the wedding ceremony. At a certain stage of development, every society has its own traditional wedding ritual, which incorporates all forms of folk art, including dramatizations, music, singing, dancing, and games. In developed religions, the wedding usually combines a religious ceremony with traditional folk rituals, the original meaning of which is often not known. In a socialist society, weddings are freed from church rites and to a significant extent from outdated rituals associated with religion and superstition. They become celebrations marking the beginning of a new socialist family. In the USSR, the tradition of the solemn registration of marriages in wedding palaces and marriage registration halls has been very popular since the 1960’s.

Alternatively, to dream of a wedding has traditionally come to symbolize something of a dire portent—either downfall or death. Wedding (dreams)Dreaming about getting married or being in a wedding is relatively common. If your biological time clock is ticking away and you are anxious to get married, this dream may be a form of wish-fulfillment. However, a wedding or a marriage in a dream is a profound and very personal symbol. It usually represents the harmonious integration of the dreamer’s personality or psyche (i. e., the coming together of masculine, feminine, shadow, anima, physical, spiritual, unconscious, and/or conscious components). The marriage in your dream may represent the union of the different sides of your own character. This is a positive dream symbol because it suggests a degree of self-awareness and integration. Many people dream about weddings during times of stress and difficulty. Based on superstition, some cultures believe that dreaming of a wedding is a negative omen that generally represents a period of grief and possibly death.LegalSeeWedwedding
