Guys, I can’t reply to everyone who posted here, because of two reasons:
a) I’m drunk.
b) I want to sleep.

Thank you very much for you condolences guys, but I’m going to bed.

P.S. It’s almost three o clock of the morning here in Siberia.
P.P.S. I’m officially engaged since September 16, btw. For guys who can read Russian and know wthat the hell I’m talking about, I can add that we “poadali zayavlenie v zags 16-go sentyabrya”

Nah. I want a son, after a couple of years of course, but she wants it now. Damn, if she want it in Paris, on Eiffel’s tower, let it be so. How can I deny to my bellowed baby?

Serb,
Well you will talk it over and find a solution.

Be careful though it's damn cold up in the Eiffel's tower

The only drawback for making your kid in Paris is him/her asking for croissants every morning But you can put it back in line

I can imagine. Actually, nearly all Russian women are attracted by this city like moths by the light. Have your honeymoon there. But don't forget money, and a lot of it. Well, if you are the head of the Siberian branch of the Russian mafia (and I'm sure you are ), that won't be a problem.

Fortunately I'm not, but I guess I can afford a trip to Paris. (Sure I would prefer other city like Tokyo or Shanghai, but who cares about my opinion?)
As for honey month, unfortunately my vacation is almost over. She can’t leave her job too, so I’m afraid there will be no honey month and trip will be delayed to next summer.

Don’t worry. There will be no priest. At least at near future. I don’t know how to say it on English, but at Nov 14 – the day of our wedding, here will be a “post” in Russia. A time when no weddings allowed and a time when Church says what to eat. Next year is bad for wedding (again I don't know how to say it, in February of next year will be 29 days or so. A year which happens only every 4 times.) So, we decided that there will be only official/state ceremony and will go to Church after one year. I know we Russians are crazy, but I hope you as an Orthodox bro will understand wtf, I just have posted.
I'm not a heretic. First state wedding, then will go to Church. It's ok in Russia if there will be a year between those two ceremonies. I hope you'll understand.

OK, I didn't understand all of that but maybe because I'm not very religious myself and don't know all the festivities of the Church

Yes sometimes this is also done here. But the Orthodox Church (which is quite powerful) has made both religious and state marriages to be the same. So if you're married in a Church wedding it is like you are automatically married in a State wedding too.

Some people (a very small number) decide to only do a state wedding but I think our Orthodox weddings are fun because they are so extravagant Assuming we can survive untill the parties end

Anyway it is better to have state marriage first and then church wedding because at least here the preparations for church wedding are most of the time very $$$$$$$ expensive


We also call it honey month = minas tou melitos - month of the honey

Thanks for the warning. My future wife already demands this French crap (I mean croissants) and coffee in bed at the morning morning. To my luck we wake up together not so frequently currently. (And to be honest I must add that she brings beer in bed for me more frequently than I brings coffee in bed for her).

I'm not religious myself too, but she is.
As for what I was trying to said, is that next year will be one day longer that previous three years and that its old Russian, I don't know perhaps "sign" is a proper word, that in such year a marriage will be unsuccessful. It's just our local insanity. Orthodox Church doesn't restrict marriages in such years.

Russian Orthodox Church isn't so powerfull yet. It's separated from the state by consitution, but many people here prefer mariage in Church and consider that's enough.

Wedding in Church isn't more expensive than state wedding here, the party after the wedding is, and it doesn't matter where wedding was in Church or in magistrate.

Cool.
Now I know know how to impress my wife in our first night- I'll say a three words in Greek.Thanks.

AHA! Now I understand it. We have it here too. It's called the "dysekto etos" here. We have that insanity/superstition too

Yep same here. Although a Church wedding would have some added expences. But yes you are right it is the after the wedding party that is expensive.
