with the spark plugs before the the khupoy; c) of the blessings of rabbi,

dressing rings, raspivaniye of wine from the glasses, splitting glass. d)

dance Mazl- comrade of man female khupa is removed. 


2. Dance A....

grandmother and the grand-dad of young. the ritual 


3. extension of

match-maker on tray ko1lyc from ya-mya by spark plugs - ritual a) the dance

of fathers, fiance and bride, the extinguishing of spark plugs, each

individually.


The mazl-comrade dance has a funny story.   'Tov' was a common colloquialism 
for 'tovarishch' = 'comrade  so the Mazl Tov dance became the Mazl-comrade 
dance.
