2. Family creation in Georgia has three stages:
machankloba — marriage proposal, nishnoba —
betrothal and kortsili - wedding.

3. The groom during the bride's entering their future
house should climb on the roof and free a white
bird.

4. Then the newlyweds are
offered a wedding
glass of wine. The first
to drink is the groom
who then puts the
wedding ring in wine
and passes the glass to
the bride who also
drinks from a glass.
Then the groom gets
the ring out and
officially hands it over
to his chosen one.

5. Then follows the solemn "survey" of the groom's
house by the bride. The groom and the bride
break a beautiful plate for luck before entering
the house.

6. In order to make new home prosperous they throw
grains of cereals to the house corners and give
the newlyweds wooden ornaments –
―chiragdani‖ which mean ―the life tree‖.

7. They don’t scream ―gorko‖.

8. The most romantic and beautiful wedding ritual
(generally accepted in Caucasus ) is the
abduction of the bride. Often it happens to
avoid the expenses connected with the
organization of magnificent and rich Georgian
wedding. There is always a chance to organize
the proper wedding in the future.
