[@ГагаркаДосократова]

I'm Russian and I'm marrying next month but never heard about the pink and blue boxes before. I also do not think it is actually customary to celebrate for 2-3 days, maybe it was in the rich houses of the past (as it was in many cultures) but today's weddings last one day more often than not. Idk, I feel like most people I know are rather creative about their weddings and as of a long time there isn't a standart or whatsoever anymore.

[@987654321mnbv]

2-day weddings were customary village weddings. The last generation who widely celebrated weddings this way were those who were born of village parents in the 50s-70s (even if they were city residents by that time). The reason villages could celebrate multi-day events is because everyone lived in walking distance from each other. Modern young people opt for 1-day weddings.

[@priva567]

У всех моих родственников были эти 2 коробочки. Только это были "банки" на самом деле ахах так что конкретно эта традиция существует. Двухдневные свадьбы проводило половина друзей /знакомых. Другие как правило просто расписывались и даже не справляли. Так что имеет место быть эта традиция

[@LanaFoma]

Все свадьбы, на которых я была, длились 2 дня, первый день роспись и сама свадьба, а второй чаще всего самые близкие родственники и друзья на даче делают шашлыки и восстанавливаются после первого дня. А про коробочки, ну я из центрального региона и у нас чаще всего используются розовые и голубые ползунки, и туда кладут деньги, это традиция, и честно думала, что она такая по всей стране. Ну а мы с мужем вообще просто расписались без всех, в ковид женились😄 так что свадьбы сейчас разные, но традиции двух дней и класть деньги на того, какого пола будет ребенок, действительно есть, просто не все им следуют уже)))

[@karina_kh]

I’m Russian and here are my thoughts: The thing about multiple days is not always true, it was in the past but not so much now. Never heard of the boxes thing - and I’ve been to multiple Russian weddings. Maybe in some regions but I’m still not sure. You will hear wishes to have many kids and soon in all the toasts the guest say though. The money gifs are pretty much standard now but not many people actually gift THAT much. Maybe parents and a couple of really close or wealthy friends. But if it’s a young people’s wedding (25-26 y.o.) the cost of the wedding would probably not be covered by those money gifts. Maybe I just haven’t been to many wedding with rich guests though, I don’t know

[@Enchanteressse]

Ну если считать второй день на шашлыках на даче с самыми близкими людьми (родителями и друзьями) продолжением праздника, то да, два дня мы праздновали)))

[@hameley12]

Last time I attended my friend's wedding in Lisbon, PT. Between us three girls and one guy traveling. We all brought along each $300 dollars. We decided to stay with Laura's family to cut costs. The wedding was pretty much small, family and a few close friends. So, I'd say it depends on how many people you are going to invite, as well as photographer, music DJ, and either a homemade cake or professionally made cake and pastries. Apparently, my friend asked her mum and aunts to help with making the menu, desserts, and wedding cake. For us traveling, we spent nearly $1,800 dollars overall. Their wedding costs were $15,322 euros. Because their family and friends, us included, helped cover for any extra unplanned things. It was a beautiful and fun one day event. Then they brought out two coloured ribbons, blue and pink. Two groups we played as to guess their future baby's gender and name. 🍾

Most of Russian weddings have 30-50 guests at max, celebrated in a regular restaurant and last one day only. People can wear any clothes they wish and no one is expected to gift outstanding amounts of $$$. Some guests are explicitly asked not to gift anything since the newlyweds are closely familiar with every single guest and their situation. Only some regions ( in the Caucasus) have large traditional old-style weddings with hundreds of guests. But the lady in the video has NOTHING to do with the Caucasus and their tribal weddings.

That sounds like a ridiculously expensive event that very few can actually afford no matter what you say

[@olgahein4384]

It can be but doesn't have to. It happens often that one distant relative or the other has a job or a side/main business that can be used for the wedding. I had a distant russian relative have such a wedding once, and they had to pay less than 10k for it all, cause from catering, to bridal gowns and even housing could be distributed among relatives or friends who do it for dirt cheap or even free. In fact, as a kid i even got into jewellery making cause i helped the brides 3rd degree cousin making jewellery for the bride, brides maids, flower girls, etc out of Swarovski crystals, miyuki seed beads and sapphire pearls. Oh yes, and children are usually partaking in russian weddings.

[@ДианаКацер-у4э]

Sadly, yes... my mum and dad had to save money for this while already living together (it wasn't a common thing back at the time, now, of course, it's totally okay). However, parents usually help with the costs, if they have extra money (I'm sure, my father will want to spend a lot on my wedding, he considers it to be his duty as a father) . Especially, if bride and groom are in the begging of their twenties

[@tonyslabu6373]

Bro what thats normal in most of europe as well lmao even in the poorest countries like in Romania our minimum wage is 700 euros yet you are expected to give at leasr 300 as a wedding gift or at least enough to cover up all the costs you would inflict on the hosts/bride& groom if you cant afford more and these are still weddings with 200 to 600 people each and everyone I know has at least 2 weddings a year, you just put money aside beforehand

Same in Turkey! You have to be the one who brings the money so the groom and bride can later cover the expenses.

[@jmackinjersey1]

In the US, the Bride's parents cover the cost of the wedding, and many times the groom's parents pitch in, or give them around the same amount of money that the other parents spent on the wedding or pay for the honeymoon.

Exactly, people get married older now days. Most couples already have 2 sets of housewares, then the wedding registry is just a 3rd set of housewares that the couple doesn't need.

[@kathryncarter6143]

A custom that crossed the Bering Straight? Ha ha

[@guybrushthreepwood7612]

Not a big fan of the money tradition at weddings, especially with the competive touch (blue box/ pink box). Heard at turkish weddings they even shout out loud the name and how much is given, which pushes people to give more. Also guests already spent quite some money to travel to (sometimes exotic) places. So you need to take a loan to attend a wedding 😂

[@cosmicgalaxystudio1539]

Shout the name and how much you gave? That's like a horror story to me. Good thing I'm never gonna get invited to a Turkish wedding then 😅 it's cost so much money to go to weddings in other countries. In our country we give money but it is not required only if you can afford it you can give appliances. Just not attend not unless I'm super close with the bride & groom lol

[@987654321mnbv]

In Russia everyone gives exactly the same standard amount except for uncles/aunts/siblings who might be willing to contribute more if they are wealthier than the newlyweds. But if they are not wealthy, they can give exactly the same amount as all other guests.
