The bride and groom participate in the traditional Bulgarian wedding ritual of breaking bread. This ritual requires the bride and groom to hold a large loaf of bread above their heads and to pull it apart. According to tradition, the spouse who gets the largest piece of bread will be the most powerful force in the marriage. In this case, the bride clearly got the largest piece — and is pleased with her winnings. The groom dons a look of amusement, knowing what this means for him in the future.

On their wedding day, they were treated to perfect weather which highlighted the natural beauty of their waterfront location, and this couple found themselves soaking up each moment of love and laughter together.
