"My Big Fat Russian Wedding"

Here is a wedding clip of a typical Russian wedding:

The wedding shares some similarities to an American Wedding but not many. The wedding is held in what looks like a ceremonial room with a few guests, a small orchestra and a minister. There isn't any chairs or maid of honor or best man. There is a small ceremony pressumably exchanging vows and then they move on to another room where they sign the official papers. The bride still wears a rather extravagant gown and the groom wears a nice tuxedo. Family members and friends shap pictures of the new couple and they head off in a limo decorated in bridal flowers.
