| Preparing for the wedding of Serhii Mykolaiovych Brovarets to Zoia Ivanivna Zaiets: making the korovai or wedding bread in the home of Tatiana Mykhailivna Boiko. The korovainytsi are dividing the dough in preparation for shaping and decorating. Although this was not the case here, korovainytsi should be relatively young married women who are living in harmony with their husbands. No divorced or widowed women should take part in the preparation of the korovai. Tatiana Mykhailivna Boiko is a widow and should not have participated, but she was also the chief helper in the wedding preparations. Perhaps because she is a widow, she only helped decorate the korovai. the shaping was left to another woman.
