That’s one of our old traditions…the groom is supposed to carry the bride like a baby so that the domovoi*3 doesn’t notice her. So he doesn’t get his eye on her. The domovoi doesn’t take to strangers, he always tries to get rid of them. He’s the true master of the house, you have to get on his good side. Oh…[She gestures dismissively.] Nobody believes in anything anymore. Not in the domovoi and not in communism. People live without any kind of faith! Maybe they still believe in love…“Bitter!
