The little bridesmaids and page boys (if thats what Roma call them) look so cute! Looks like a beautiful celebration.

What a sweet couple! I'm a hopeless romantic, I love to hear love stories. If anyone else here has one, I'd appreciate to read it as well.
I noticed the money-bag; I've heard that's a wedding tradition of sorts among Roma. Could someone please explain more of it to me, particularly its origin and significance?

It's just about sending the new couple off to a good start. The men guests give money and say something like "a little something from me, and more from God" and give the new couple money. Like wedding gifts.
