Wedding in Batumi: 3 ideas for a unique celebration

1. Maritime wedding

Do you want to celebrate your wedding in an unusual way, but are afraid of extreme sports? Then leisurely boat trips on a comfortable ship, so popular in Batumi, will suit you. Organizers of such events usually take care of delivery of tourists to the place of boarding, offer refreshments, snacks and Georgian wines, as well as arrange a photo shoot. This is one of the best and economical options for celebrating a wedding.

2. Sea, sun and sand

The idea is not new, but it is no less wonderful. Batumi is a resort town, so there are a lot of clean and well-maintained beaches adjacent to sanatoriums. You can become a guest of one of them, and exchange rings in a cozy gazebo on the beach in the sunset sun. It is hard to think of a more romantic beginning of a happy family life.

3. Local color

Georgia is one of the countries of the southern Caucasus, so you should not forget about the peculiarities of its national flavor, local cuisine and beautiful legends. Even if you belong to a completely different nationality, it would be quite an interesting idea to stylize your wedding as a traditional Georgian celebration with wines, bride kidnapping and execution of various centuries-old traditions.

Wedding traditions of Georgia

We did not talk about traditions for nothing, because this country is a real treasure trove of them. We will tell you about the most interesting customs related to weddings:

• An obligatory element of any Georgian wedding is a huge number of guests, sometimes numbering in the hundreds;
  a traditional wedding in this country lasts from two to seven days;
• upon entering the house where the newly married family will live, the young couple must break a plate with their feet near the entrance — according to legend, this should guarantee them a happy and long marriage;
• the bride and groom sit at the festive table later than everyone else — they are responsible for welcoming guests and parents, and can only start the meal when the last guest has crossed the threshold of the house.

A wedding is one of the most important days in the life of any family. Spend it in such a way that you have something to tell your future children and grandchildren about. Preparing for this celebration will take you too long, to save yourself from paperwork (registration of marriage in another country will cause certain legal difficulties) — put these matters on the shoulders of a marriage agency. So you can fully enjoy the celebration of your love and do not think about anything but each other and a happy family future.
