The Master of Ceremonies gives the wedding couple advice on starting a new family. The groom and the bride then exchange their wedding rings.TOURIST: Where is the wedding banquet held?TOURIST GUIDE: Well, it depends. Often the wedding banquet is held at the groom and bride’s home or at the hotel or a restaurant and all close relatives, friends, and neighbours are invited.TOURIST: What kind of food and drinks are served?TOURIST GUIDE: Traditional food and beer or vine are served.
