Description

Sit in on a Transylvanian wedding in Kalotaszag. You’ll only get a sneak peak, though, since this ceremony and accompanying festivities lasted from 10am on a Sunday to 4 am Monday. Never mind, you’ll still get to sample some music played during the church ceremony, the “gypsy” tune that just about interrupts the end of the church ceremony and draws everyone out into the yard, and all of the mourning songs and lively dances to follow.
