WE WANT YOU TO KNOW MORE ABOUT MONGOLIA
(continuation)
At dawn the next day, the groom in his best clothes and carrying a bow and arrows arrives at the bride's family home, accompanied by five to seven young men and leading a saddled horse for the bride.
Her parents would sit with their daughter in the eastern part of the ger and give her milky tea, while a yorookh (folk narrator) sings a ritual song about seeing her off from her home. Then everyone leaves, except four women, two from the bride's family and two from the groom's.
The bride would visit her parents three days after the official wedding, when they would give her some of the five domestic animals and her possessions. The modern wedding is of course very different. Few parents require that the young couple scrupulously observe all the old rituals. Traditional wedding ceremonies have largely been replaced by modern ones, which are much simpler.
