I moved to Moldova and married my dream guy. He is Moldovan, I’m Estonian. On that special day, we signed the paper and had dinner with his parents. And that’s it! I didn’t think much of it. Now that I have lived in Moldova for a few years, I have realized that weddings are a huge deal. But I couldn’t understand why. Why would anyone spend a year or even two of their lives organizing one party?
I'm a journalist, and when my colleagues from Estonia came over, I took them to a wedding ceremony. We decided to find out why the celebration of love has to be so extravagant.
My friend Alex is an MC, a master of ceremonies. His summers are full of weddings and christenings and all kinds of parties. I asked him to take us with him one evening.
