Hungarian wedding customs

The biggest event of my life will take place at 1:00 p.m. on Sept. 5, 2015, at the Hungarian Cultural Center of Northeastern Ohio’s picnic grounds in Hiram, Ohio. At that time, I will be united in marriage with Nicholas Hadzinsky. We will exhange vows under the famous Székely kapu (gate), which is recognized internationally as the symbol of the HCCNEO. My brother András II will officiate at the ceremony. Following the wedding, an American-Hungarian themed reception will be held within the confines of the club’s grounds. We will observe many Hungarian wedding customs and traditions, along with some modern domestic rituals.

I wish I could invite all of you to my wedding, but logistics, practicality and finances prohibit that option. Fortunately, my brother Tibor, author of“Tibor’s Take,” describes my wedding plans in detail in this month’s Take on page 6.

The September 2015 wordsearch comprises clues about those Hungarian wedding traditions we will observe at my wedding. We will have a vőfély (sort of a best manlhostl entertainer I master of ceremonies); drink pálinka, Törley sparkling wine and Tokaji Essencia wine; feast upon Eva’s famous csirke (chicken) páprikas and stuffed cabbage; indulge on krémes slice, Gerbeaud cake and kalács created by Miska of Farkas Bakery & Pastries; and dance the csárdás, gólya and bridal dance as my brother András plays the cimbalom.

I will be wearing a Magyar-made lakodalom ruha (wedding dress) given to me by my relatives in Csót, Hungary, when my family visited them last fall. Upon my head will be the same veil my mother wore on her wedding day in 1981.

This month’s puzzle contains 21 clues. Good luck and have a great Labor Day weekend.

See you in October!

Éljen a Magyar,

Cseh Lizzy, Branch 28
