Bulgarian Wedding - Folkloric super event with colorful rituals | Getting Married (5/5)

The two scientists Toni (30) and Victor (35) have to manage financially. Therefore, they are forced to make out of little much. Both are very close to nature. So, they decide to make a hike into the mountains for their wedding. Because even marriage is a long and difficult road, they believe.

Once at the top, there are all sorts of colorful and traditional rituals, organized by a wedding planner who specializes in turning a wedding into a folkloric super event. Because more and more young Bulgarians want to marry again traditionally, she reports.

It's exciting how our highly educated young protagonists combine modernity and tradition! The two even arrived 1 1/2 hours late for their church wedding. The reason was that the mother had not yet finished sewing the wedding dress. You can also plan so relaxed..."

Five weddings. Five completely different ways to celebrate them in Europe. And a presenter interested in getting married. Authentic, warm and humorous, this documentary series accompanies people before and during the supposedly most important day of their lives.

Every year more than two million Europeans say yes to each other. No wedding in Europe is the same as any other. Lived and loved European diversity.
The Finns in the far north marry unlike Turkish Cypriots, unlike Italians with southern European influences, unlike gay couples in Catholic Ireland, unlike folkloristic Bulgarians in the poorest country of the EU. What are the differences between the ceremonies? What is the most important thing about a wedding across cultures and countries? How do the preparations work? How to find the perfect wedding dress? What role does religion play? What goes wrong? And how does it feel to say yes to one's life?

Presenter and producer Andreas Korn come amazingly close to the wedding couples. He laughs, suffers, cries and celebrates with them. One of his favorite rituals: "I really liked how in Finland the bride and her best friends sweated out their ex-lovers in the sauna. And when she ran around the hut and shouted the names out loud to be free for marriage, I had to laugh a lot. A super ritual!”

And despite all the differences between weddings, one thing is the same everywhere: love. No matter who marries whom where in Europe.

Original title - Getting Married! Episode 5: Bulgaria
A film by Katrin Molnar, Michael Schmitt, Carmen Knothe & Andreas Korn
