About some ritual and dance practices in the wedding cycle from Yambol

Summary/Abstract: In the Yambol region, the groom's shaving is a separate rite in the wedding cycle. The general name of the rite is "brusnela", analogous to the braiding of the bride's hair. It takes place on Friday in the groom's home. In different villages, the person who shaves the son-in-law is almost always his close relative /brother, cousin, sister's husband, uncle/. For the one who shaves the groom, a mandatory condition is to be with living parents or married, but most of all, not to have repeated to two women that the future hero will also repeat. Shaving is mandatory for the wedding even in cases when the "groom" does not have a beard.
