Girls who are ready to get married, but who cannot find their life partners, may well do in Bulgaria. In the Bulgarian village of Mogila there was a traditional annual sale held for the girls who are of marrying age, gathering more than two thousands of those interested. Teenage girls with their parents, fully made-up and clad in their best robes, decorated with the glistening jewellery, come to this annual gathering to find husbands, but not just any husband! The future spouse must be prepared to pay ample sum of money for the future bride. A beautiful girl means that one has to pay several thousand Euros. At one of the conventions, a mother of a girl present there said that they bring their teenage daughters to those gatherings so that they have the opportunity of meeting young men, as they are forbidden to go out to discotheques or night clubs. Annual sale of the marrying-age girls is an event traditionally held on the first Saturday at the beginning of the Easter Lent, on St. Theodore Day.
