Students from Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski" kept alive the tradition of untraditional wedding ceremonies to add an extra dose of romanticism in celebrating their holiday on December 8.

For the sixth consecutive year, Alma Alter, the theatre group with the university, initiated willing couples into the mystery of marriage.

The ceremonies, involving candles, ropes, dry spaghetti sticks and lots of loving vows took place in the halls of the university.

The certificates, given out to each couple that put themselves through the special ceremony understandably has no legal validity.

Actors from Alma Alter first stepped into the ring of love to urge friends into "wedlock" in a gesture of devotion and as a preparation before saying "I do" in real.

The Day of the Bulgarian students was first marked in 1903 in Sofia University and has been celebrated ever since both by current and former students.
