Is there such a thing as a red wedding dress? And black? And... a fur coat? Why do Chinese brides step on saddles, Armenian brides put pita on their shoulders, and Berber brides are sewn up in sacks?
What this book is about
Can a man marry the sea? Who and from whom does one really hide behind a veil? Why do some countries shoot at weddings, others cry, still others jump and shout, and everyone is only more happy about it?
This book is the most real wedding journey from Nigeria to Yamal in a time machine! Together with the heroine, the granddaughter of seven grandmothers, you will visit different cultures and eras, understand the real meaning of mysterious rituals, learn what pies were served at feasts in ancient times, and visit the most famous and unusual weddings in the world.
