What features, how was it …?
The Ancestors had everything very reasonable and responsible. While the young man was learning about his father's profession, his father could ride through the cities and villages, find out, look after where a beautiful, healthy, pretty girl lives. Then they come, conspire, that is, find out if she is old enough to woo her. That is, if she reached, say, 15 - 16 years of age, and sometimes even earlier, for the future, they did the beginning, came, conspired. And then they brought the young one. And now the future, as it were, the bride, she carried out a jug of kvass and brought it to everyone. And the young man was looking at this time, and she was looking at him. And when each was poured a cup of kvass, the guests sat down at the table, the little one went to her room and immediately friends and relatives asked: "Did you like it or not?" If you have, then they immediately ask the guy:"Did you like it or not?" If you did, then that's all, it means that they are already conspiring that the bride-show took place - they liked each other at first sight.
Then, when she turns 16 in the temple, or in the sanctuary, they passed the "Rite of naming the bride and groom." On the ring finger of his right hand, he wore the Horse symbol - a silver ring. And they no longer said "the nameless finger", but they said "the finger of the groom" or "the finger of the bride." And after that they had to cognize not the body, but the Spirit and the Soul of each other. That is, they talked, found out who was interested in what … and only after the parental survey, if the young people coped with it, they were assigned a parental blessing to cover the family union.
Further … the husbands of the groom's family and the bride's family set up mansions opposite the house of the groom's father with all the master's buildings, so that the young would start life under their own roof. Note that a girl could get married at 16, and a man could start a family only after 21. At the age of 12, they passed the rite of majority, name-naming. Those who did not undergo the ceremony, they did not have the right to start a family at all, being considered minors. The girl was given 4 years to master the house building, and the young man was given 9 years to master the house building, the father's profession and weapons. Because he is, first of all, the protector of his Family. Therefore, mastering any weapon to perfection is the business of every man. From here, there was always someone to defend their family, their land. Who watched a film about midshipmen - where, at the age of 20, the groom is told: "What are you, you are not according to the charter, hard labor awaits you for this", and he answered:"I will try not to let anyone know about it." Even then, not at all just now … they were all harps on KON.
