The apple tradition

The apple tradition by Jane Keeler

There is a Russian wedding tradition in which an apple is stuck with many toothpicks. The bride and groom are supposed to take turns pulling toothpicks out of the apple.

About this place:

The American Home, located at ul. Letneperevozinskaya 3 in Vladimir, Russia opened in 1992. An architectural oddity in Russia, the American Home is designed to look like a typical American ranch-style house. The AH offers English lessons to locals ages 12 and up, catering to students, businessmen, and those purely interested in learning English. The AH also offers intensive Russian courses for native English speakers.
