Buying of the bride
The Petrovic House
1748 Manning Ave, Port Coquitlam, BC, V3B 1K9, Canada
The traditional buying of the bride will happen at Aleksandra's parents home in Port Coquitlam.
The old Serbian custom known as Kupovina mlade (= Buying of the Bride). Is a tradition where the groom’s brother (or cousin) bargain with the brother (or cousin) from the brides side. Once they’d agreed to the price, the bride would step out of her parents’ house, ready to get married.
Today, picking up the bride is the process of merging the two mentioned parties. The groom and his closest family and friends, wait for the bride to show up in front of her house.
We encourage all guests to attend, there will be light refreshments and music.
Following the buying of the bride a procession of cars will head to the church for the ceremony.
