Summary/Abstract: The text contains an ethnographic account of pre-wedding rites in Mraclin, a village south of Zagreb: getting acquainted and proposal. Although the rites follow a usual traditional pattern, the author has noted an inversion in habitual roles in the proposal: it is the bride's, and not the groom's parents who propose.
