Kiválásos

Kiválásos is a term used in Hungarian to describe a type of traditional Hungarian wedding ceremony. The term translates to "separation" or "parting," reflecting the idea that the couple is leaving their single lives behind to begin a new life together. This ceremony is often held before the civil wedding, and it is a significant event in Hungarian culture.

The kiválásos ceremony typically takes place in the bride's home. The couple is greeted by the bride's family and friends, who sing traditional songs and offer well-wishes. The ceremony is usually led by the bride's mother or a close family member, who acts as the officiant. The couple then exchanges rings, which are often made of silver or gold, and the bride's mother places a garland of flowers on the couple's heads.

After the ceremony, the couple is usually served a traditional Hungarian meal, such as goulash or stuffed cabbage. The meal is often accompanied by music and dancing, and it is a time for the couple to enjoy each other's company before the more formal civil wedding. The kiválásos ceremony is an important part of Hungarian culture and is celebrated by many couples who wish to honor their heritage.
