I found out from Lena today that the padruga (best female friend) that you chose for your maid of Honor must be a Maid... no matrons allowed. Russian Tradition! The girl is called a drushka and the man is called a drushsok. Each of the cars in this processional was hand decorated by us that morning. The Bridal car has a white net covered in pink roses. Tape would not stick and staples were not good for the car so .... we sewed them on! Whoever uses the netting next is assured it will not lose a rose on the journey. Sveta ( girl on the video camera) and I did a VERY thourogh job getting them on!
