Close to 4000 Bulgarians in folk costumes met in Arbanasi near Veliko Tarnovo for the culmination of the Boyar Get-Together, an authentic North Bulgarian wedding.

The event has broken the Guinness record from two years ago for the most populous wedding.

Georgi Georgiev and Iva Yancheva took their wedding vows in front of thousands of Bulgarians. They were wed by Veliko Tarnovo Mayor Daniel Panov.

The guests commented that the message of the event is keeping Bulgarian traditions and learning from history. This is the way to preserve and develop the Bulgarian spirit, they believe.
