Tying the knot to Csángó folk music from Moldavia (photo gallery)
Sültü Band had the privilege of playing at a very special wedding on Saturday, October 1. The unique venue of the nuptials was a historic early medieval church dating back to the 12th century, which had once belonged to the now extinct village of Gercse. The church occupies the middle of a clearing at the foot of Hármashatár hill in the undulating landscape of Budapest's northeastern periphery.
Walking with Ági and Zsolt through the fields felt like a scene right out of a Tarkovsky movie. Blue skies, bright sunshine, the vast expanse of the fields around us, Moldavian csángó music, a sense of void and complete at the same time...
Please see a handful of lovely photos of the wedding procession to the church to the accompaniment of Moldavian csángó folk music, courtesy of the newlyweds.
I would like to thank photographer Attila Haid for a permission to publish the pictures.
