Traditionally, Romanian marriages were arranged by the couple's parents through a matchmaker. The bride's family was expected to contribute a dowry that usually consisted of linen and embroidery. Traditional rural weddings were large festivities to which the entire village was invited. The ceremony included not just the couple and their parents but grandparents, godparents, the matchmaker, attendants, speakers, cooks, and numerous other people.
Today it is customary for Romanian young people to choose their own spouses. Many of these young Romanian singles are turning to popular Romanian dating sites, such as DatingforRomanians.com. These cultural breakthroughs, via technology, are helping to preserve Romanian culture. While these young Romanians are turning to DatingforRomanians.com to meet other quality Romanian singles, they are still preserving certain elements of the traditional marriage ceremony. For instance, the bride's hair is braided in an elaborate style, and she dons a crown of flowers, jewels, and ribbons. The groom wears a white leather vest and a hat decorated with feathers, flowers, and leaves. The best man shaves the groom's beard to symbolize his departure from his previous lifestyle. In the ceremony, both the bride and the groom ask their parents to forgive them for leaving the family.
