In a Pontic/Russian Orthodox wedding, the groom’s pre-church traditions are filled with love and symbolism.

On the morning of the wedding, family, friends, and the best man (Koumbaros) gather to help the groom prepare, with the Koumbaros assisting in dressing him—a gesture of support for his new journey.

The day is brought to life with Pontic songs, sung to honor the moment and celebrate the blessings of marriage, while heartfelt toasts and cheers!!
