In This Picture:
The father of the bride and the father of the groom are both holding a large round loaf of bread. According to JustLL , the one who grabs the larger piece has more say in this new family.
I have never heard about this tradition until i stumbled across this picture so i don’t know which island it comes from.
Do you know more about this tradition? What is the name of the bread that is broken… and do you know a recipe for it?

The bread breaking is a greek-macedonian tradition (like the pig dance) and it is usually performed by the husband and wife. Whoever pulls the bigger piece is thought to wear the pants in the house lol.
