Wedding Photography Session of The bride and groom participate in the tradition ritual of breaking bread
The bride and groom participate in the traditional Bulgarian wedding ritual of breaking bread. This ritual requires the bride and groom to hold a large loaf of bread above their heads and to pull it apart. According to tradition, the spouse who gets the largest piece of bread will be the most powerful force in the marriage. In this case, the bride clearly got the largest piece — and is pleased with her winnings. The groom dons a look of amusement, knowing what this means for him in the future.
