Belarus wedding traditions are quite ancient. One of the oldest wedding traditions involves the concept of “order in priority.” What this meant was that the oldest daughter was married first, followed by the next oldest and so forth. If a younger sister married before her older sister it was considered a major embarrassment for everyone.
Gomel is the second largest city of Belarus, one of the country’s industrial, business and educational centers and a major regional transport hub. The city is old, cozy, perfect for taking a leisurely walk, seeing the sights that have survived over time. Gomel was first mentioned in the chronicles in 1142. Over centuries, the city has experienced its ups and downs but continued to live and grow.
