As a tradition, the groom is offered a piece of cake in shape of a ring, a glass of wine and a spoon! After he drinks the glass of wine he puts some coins in the glass and the together with the other objects that he receives he gives them to the best man, which is supposed to offer them in the next day to the bride!

This gesture makes the couple look like queen and king and after they get marries they have to surround the table 3 times, which symbolizes the trinity!<\/p>\n<p>After the ceremony they will go the bride`s home, where they are received with bread!
