When we had lunch in Luvete, there were some old photos on the wall including this shot of a traditional Hungarian wedding from long ago.
We then saw a young man bringing a load of hay in his wagon from one of the surrounding fields. We learned that a lot of the people there farmed but a lot took the bus to Budapest once a week to work in the city.
Finally, here is a picture from the modern wedding that we attended near Brasov, Romania. We all went to the courthouse (below) for a civil ceremony with plenty of space for all attendees. Then some of us walked to the church. Finally, we drove to the reception hall.

The wedding near Brasov was beautiful and really an experience for us Americans. For instance, it started at 1:00 in the afternoon and went until 8:00 in the morning. I was recently married and I wanted to incorporate some of the traditions from that wedding into our wedding, so I tried, with varying degrees of success, to get the younger women to dress like complete whores.
Of course, Louie couldn't handle all the partying. He went to bed really early saying, "I just can't keep up."
If all the women had come through, and actually all dressed like whores, I'll bet Louie would have stayed up.
