Ribnovo, the magnetic Rhodope village, which until a decade ago lived in its own encapsulated world far from globalization, now warmly welcomes tourists. Its residents are Bulgarian-Muslims and are distinguished by their preserved way of life, colorful folklore and a unique custom that goes back in time and amazes the world – the Ribnovo wedding. The entire village participates in the mystical tradition, as recently tourists led by tour operators have also started to join the festive procession.
What fascinates tourists is the colorful Ribnovo wedding – the colorful costumes, the carrying out of the bride's dowry in front of the bride's house, the wedding procession that passes through the entire village and the crowded dance on the square... And the most mysterious element of the custom is the so-called "gluing of the gelina" /adorning the face of the bride - "gelina"). This is an intimate moment for the bride and her relatives, where outsiders are not allowed.
