***SEE VIDEOS ON CAUCASTALK WEBSITE***
Summer is nearly here, and in the North Caucasus one thing that means is weddings. (Well, usually it does. Not so much these days.) Lines of white cars decked with flowers and ribbons careening through the city, horns blaring. Massive gatherings around massive piles of food. Fiery Lezginka dancing, tons of toasts, sometimes guns fired in the air, always much merriment. Today we comb through our collective experiences of local wedding to compare and contrast a traditional Western wedding with its North Caucasus counterpart. What is similar? Where are they different? We discover that core values and community life are always reinforced and also renegotiated through weddings.
