For centuries, regardless of customs, societies and individuals, marriage has been, with very few exceptions, a complicated matter, although the reasons for this have varied. In our homeland, marriages were arranged very early on and the bride and groom met their partner before they even had time to fall in love.
The parents took care of everything and this rarely changed. They chose the bride and groom, if they were not bound by any other obligation, the godparents, the dowries and also the food that would be eaten at the wedding party.
The couple’s joy brought joy not only to him, but to the entire family. Or at least that’s how it must have seemed from the outside.
