Before the wedding day, the celebration went on for 7 days. The tradition was to bring the bride and groom into the house where their faces are covered with scarf - red for woman and white for man, and sing wedding songs for them.

On the seventh day, the wedding and chuppa are set. Special dishes are cooked, and a feast is prepared.
