regions on Transylvania, wedding Flag.
The history of wedding flag:
The flag of the wedding was an object of prestige, pride and was so that everyone in the village knows that the young people in the house who waved a flag they were married.The flag is encountered only in those regions which were part of the Austro-Ungar Empire. The flag was prepared by a man called ensign, which was responsible for this purpose throughout the wedding and was leading him before the press of the Emperor of the wedding.Although it was called the flag, usually he was not a flag but was composed of rags. On a pole had been coloured ribbons, Kerchiefs fluttered, a crown of currants, basil, bells, flowers, fabrics, tasselled or garland of heads of wheat.
This wedding flag which we call "laslău" it's an old tradition in a Transylvanian wedding, the flag is the one who started the wedding.
In Bihor County, the person with the flag is the leading wedding from beginning to end.
