Summary/Abstract: The main theme of the contemporary wedding (Vranje 1990-2001), that is being worked out both throught the ritual itself and throught the informant′s tellings is the problem of identity. The notion of identity is inseparably connected to the notion of ritual, because rituals are built in the identity of the community, and both notions are inseparably connected to the notion of tradition, the late conoting the past and the transmission of the values from one generation to another. The contemporary wedding is considered as the intersection of these three notions being very suitable by its form, content and importance to be interconnected to the tradition and as a device of the own identity questioning.
