Ukraine: A Hutsul Wedding, Part II

Here is the second installment to the Hutsul wedding video. Part I was posted earlier, click here. There will also be a Part III and IV.

Part I had footage of the rituals that take place in the morning just before the actual wedding ceremony at the church.

Part II has footage of the wedding ceremony and the rituals that precede the start of the wedding reception.

Part III will have footage of the feasting (eating and drinking) and singing during the reception meal.

Part IV will be of the dance after the meal.

Turns out I had more footage than could be incorporated into two 10-minute clips!

Notes to Part II:

The footage of the church ceremony is not very good and I was tempted to leave it out, but it was necessary to include something from the ceremony.

The rest of the scenes should be self-explanatory.

To read a bit more about the Hutsuls and modern-day Hutsulshchyna, or the region of the Carpathians in which Hutsuls still live, read the comments to A Hutsul Wedding, Part I below.
