Question

Hungarian wedding traditions:

Answer

Bridal dance: During this dance the bride is dancing with each guest (usually with couples and families, not separately with each person). Originally this is the occasion to hand over the wedding gift. The mothers of the bride and the groom used to collect the gifts (or envelops) and the best man is screaming: “Bride for sale”. Change of dress at midnight: Hungarian brides still change their white bridal dress at midnight. Traditionally the new dress is red. This also symbolises becoming a wife. Sometimes the groom also changes his shirt to a red one. When they come back in the new dress, the best man announces the new wife and new husband. New wife dance in red: Some guests give additional gifts (or envelops) at this occasion. The best man is screaming: “New wife for sale!”, so in return of the gifts, the bride must dance with the person who handed her the gift. Midnight Breakfast: Unlike standard weddings, Hungarian weddings are an all night affair with lots of dancing and music. To give you that extra energy to keep going into the night, there is traditionally a “midnight breakfast” served in the wee hours. This is usually stuffed cabbage or other typical Hungarian comfort cuisine. If you didn’t get enough to eat during the reception, here’s your chance to make up for it.
