In the middle of the yard (of the bride or groom) a bulky tarpaulin shelter is made, which is then decorated with ribbons, flowers, tree branches, ears of corn, icons and posters, with a humorous meaning. Abroad, a wooden barn is rented for a wedding banquet and decorated with fabrics, lanterns, miniature bouquets, pictures, and streamers. Even in the village, a wedding here looks sophisticated and elegant.
