| [size=75:34vr17az]Standart news 21 February 2010 Brides Get Cheaper[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][size=75:34vr17az]Beautiful Donka and her fianc?, Nasko were the most popular couple at the market of whitesmith brides A couple of hundred of Roma from all southern Bulgaria gathered yesterday at the first for the year bride-market of the whitesmith Romani clan near the village of Mogila, Stara Zagora region. Traditionally the eyeing of brides is made on St Todor?s Day ? the first Saturday after the start of the Great Lent. A horde of foreign media were also present to cover the picturesque gathering of heavily made-up girls and eager to marry boys. ?We have heard that parents sell their girls like animals,? Ralph Jurgen Schoenheinz from the Bavarian public TV in Munich explained his interest. Curiosity of the same type had brought a team from the British tabloid the Sun. Some of the Romani would make fun of the foreigners and bargain on tremendous sums for a girl in front of them, others would send them to the other side of the village where the animal market was held. ?For a nice girl, I will give 20ÑÂ000 levs,? unwillingly says Petko Kolev from the village of Kolena. Most of the whitesmiths, though, say that the crisis is giving them a hard time. The craft is dying and any work, they say, is hard to find both in Bulgaria and abroad. ?I am not lying to you, I took this fine bride for a lamb,? says Todor from the village of Lovets. His son Nasko and beautiful Donka from the village of Dramata, Yambol fancied each other at a bride-market in Yambol. Their parents ? average whitesmiths, blessed their love. Todor gave a dinner for the relatives-in-law and agreed to make the engagement on St Todor?s Day. Thus on the market yesterday Donka and Nasko were the most popular couple. |

| My my this is rather shocking to hear about. I believe in arranged marriges if the couple in question have a choice. Its rather like a dating agency idea. For sale ?? Are they happy with this? I did hear once that a lot run away from home because they cannot afford to pay the family for the bride. N |

| I'm not saying I agree with this, having been brought up in a completely different culture, but who are we to judge how others live?
If the youngsters accept it and it is part of their tradition let them get on with it.
I don't suppose the marriage failure rate will be any worse that in Uk where we have freedom to choose without any input from anyone. |

| That's a good point Judy I think the success in the countries where marriage is arranged is a lot more successful so you could well have a point ? |
