Hey Greeksters

what krevati?

NO - my sis didn't have to do it 3 years ago whch means I don't have to....

isn't that when the greek people come over and like prepare your bed with the sheets, etc??

damn u really are greeky greeek

im not doing the krevati loll thank god lol

its embarassing.. besides i live with will.. have been for liek 4 yrs.

the whole krevati thing is for virgins i think.. no?


its kind of a joke if i get it. lolol

in the olden days, did they hang those sheets for the village to see blood stains the morning after the wedding? lolollllll

yes my mom knows better than to even ask people to do my krevati....

besides, she will probably call me a gaithoura if I don't do my own bed anyway....

Barb - I heard of that!!!! lol they would hang the sheets out the window to proove to the entire village!! lololllll

love being greek

yeah they come over and throw money and stuff on the bed and all the single women make the bed

oh! and then you gotta throw a little boy greekster on there so that our first child will be a boy lol

FMIL wants to do that like 2 days before wedding, but eveyone one I talk to says this is an outdated custom?? I don't know about invites, I think she'd just ask her sisters and nieces to come over that day. Meanwhile, where am I supposed to sleep???

tell your FMIL that it is outdated....my mom is pretty greek greek and she didn't even make a mention of this to my sis....and my cousins who are older and got married af ew years ago didn't do this either...i would just feel like so weird!!!!!!!!!

yeah a lot of greek americans dont do it that much but theyre so much fun! its a like a giant party before your wedding!

its more outdated here, but not really in greece

barb, you are the first one of us greekies getting married....

let us know how u make out $$$ wise then I will consider doing it ! lol jk

The Italians do the same thing...I went to one in Italy a few years back...they do make a lot of money...lol

---

Wow I'm pretty damn italian (full blooded) from an extremely italian family and I've never heard of them doing this...I'm sure if I asked my mom she would know about it cause my parents are from italy but I never heard of it myself...I guess it's the new Americanized way lol. Of course I wouldn't mind having money thrown on my bed though

They don't do it in America anymore...my cousin who lives in Italy and got married there had her single friends 'make the bed' and then they threw money on it and there was other things....it was like a mini party with food and everything...lol

i dont like people over my house for long pds of time, unless they are friends.

ppl can keep their money lolol

my cuz did that(mousins wife).. in athens.. they made THOUSANDS. they had the party in their backyard... which was 3 levels...had alvanous help out with the catering. it was identical to their wedding.

most i can do is bbq on my front lawn. AKA giftiko panigiri

giftiko panigiri hotnesssss

im the opposite, i love when people are over

lolll thats cuz ur not on your own yet, kai h mama katharizi kai magirevi..


shyt is guna get old realllllllll quickk lol

lmaooooooooooooooooo giftiko panigiri


in all seriousness, isn't the bed that is 'stromeno' supposed to be the bed that you sleep in the night of your wedding? so, if you are staying in a hotel, how would they do that??

Joanna, are you staying in your bed the night of?
