In Reply to: Greek Orthodox Wedding Question ? posted by Chun on January 21, 2002 at 17:49:12:
: I am trying to find out what the role and responsibilities are for a Greek Orthodox Wedding.
: My girl friend has accepted to be the Matron of Honor (she is not of the Greek Orthodox Faith, there is a best man and he is). She has been told (1 week before the wedding) that she is to pay for a lot of things - bon bon yeri, christening of the babies etc. (She is happy to do this but does not have any money at this point in time - being a full time student)
: I want to know whether this is correct or should this really be the responsibility of the best man since I've been told that tradition usually lies with the man.
: Any information would be appreciated - Thank You.
Yes, it is true, she should be the one paying and my Mom says, the christening of the first child is very expensive. Good Luck!
