Cultural Post 5

[Taylor Johnson]

For my cultural project, I will talk about the intricate Ukrainian wedding traditions. Wedding ceremonies in Ukraine usually last hours to even days, and the traditions that still take place are amazing. In researching Ukrainian wedding traditions, I hope to gain a better understanding of Ukraine's overall culture, as weddings are a big part of any culture. Ukrainian weddings are not very similar to traditional western weddings, and the fact that these traditions in Ukraine still exist despite Ukraine's efforts to shift itself more westward is very interesting.
