Wedding takes place, and sleeps outside
her chamber the night before the girl Is

sash made OF heavy silk, carries big
white stall aud huge bouquet all for
himself. There are no bridesmaids, but
two godfathers, each OF whom presents
to the bride a elk dress. After the
priest has performed the ceremony tine
best man takes the bride around the
church and che kisses all her girl friends
Soodby and is finally carried of to the
bridegroom, who at last gets his wife
from the hands 0f the best man. Then
the happy couple return to their ill.,
tended home. Bridal tours are foreign
to Servian ideas and only the very rich
or the nobility indulge ID them.
