Pre-engagement rites & Traditions in Bulgaria

Some of the ancient Bulgarian wedding traditions like “asking the bride’s father for his blessing” are still practiced today. Maybe the most practised tradition in our day is the bachelor party. Just before the marriage ceremony is to take place the groom’s friends throw him a bachelor party and the bride’s friends throw her a party as well. This is a time for the man and the woman to bid their single friends farewell.
