A wedding is one of the biggest family celebrations. A traditional wedding in the UK is a formal event and there are lots of rules that go with it.
First, there is the dress code. Traditionally, men must wear suits and ties. They needn’t wear hats, although at a very formal wedding the groom and his best man often wear top hats. Women wear dresses or suits and they must wear hats. You mustn’t wear white (only the bride wears white) or black (because it is too serious).
There are other traditions too. The bride’s father makes a speech at the wedding. The bride’s mother and the groom’s parents needn’t make a speech, but the groom’s best friend (the best man) makes a speech too.
Traditionally, the bride’s family pay for the wedding, but many modern couples now plan and pay for their special day themselves. The average wedding costs nearly £20,000, so many parents are happy about this change!
Weddings are an old tradition and there are a lot of superstitions about the wedding day and the ceremony. Here are a few of them:
1 If you are a bridesmaid three times for your friends, you will never get married yourself.
2 If you catch the bride’s bouquet of flowers when she throws it, you will be the next one to get married.
3 The groom mustn’t see the bride’s dress until the wedding ceremony. If he does, the couple will have bad luck.

1 You must make sure you wear the right clothes at a formal wedding.
2 Men mustn’t wear hats.
3 Women don't usually make speeches at a traditional wedding.
4 Not all modern parents pay for their daughter’s wedding.
5 It is traditional for the groom to help the bride choose her dress.

Astana Astana (the former Akmola) was founded in 1830 as a fortification of Russian Empire. In 1862 stanitsa Ak-mola got the status of a town. In the course of time Akmola became the centre of trade fairs where merchants from all over Kazakhstan. Russia, Central Asia, India and other countries gathered to sell cattle and agricultural products. For a long time Akmola was an outpost of Russian Empire seeking the way to developed trade and its political influence upon Central Asia in XVIII-XIX centuries. With the growth of anti – tsarist and revolutionary public mood the Akmloa prison became over crowed with those who wanted freedom. In March 1917 the Soviet Power was established in Akmola. Many changes have taken place since then. Akmola played an important role in supplying the Soviet Army with raw materials and products during the Second World War. In 1961 Akmola was renamed into Tselinograd and became the centre of Tselinny Krai. In 1992 the city got its name Akmola again and sice October 1997 Akmola has become a new capital of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Later on it got its present name Astana. Astana is a modern growing city, a political, financial, economic, scientific and socio-cultural centre of the state. There are a lot of magnificent beautiful buildings, higher educational establishments, colleges and secondary schools, hotels, banks and other commercial structures in Astana, the new capital of the Republic of Kazakhstan. There are many places of interest in Astana: the Central Square the Republic Avenue, the Palace of Youth and the Bridge across the Ishim River, the Reginal Museum of Fine Arts and others. From everywhere you can see Baiterek, the symbol of prosperity and happiness.
