When studying foreign language it is important to know not only the language structures, but it is also important to know the culture and traditions of the country. The purpose of the work is the study of wedding traditions of England and Russia.

Wedding is not only a secular ceremony and dry legal formality, but it is a real, ancient sacrament, which is always bright and memorable event, the beginning of new stage in life of every person.

One of the most original and funny traditions on the territory of Great Britain is called “tied in a knot”. The guy and the girl, dressed, connected one rope and left for the night. If in the morning the rope was not untied, couple declared affianced. If young people didn't wish to marry, they simply untied the knot at night.
