What is happening

What the sources report

Stelios Pantechakis arrived at the church on the afternoon of Saturday 31 October for his wedding to Despoina Kounali at Profitis Ilias in Heraklion.[1]

The groom was accompanied by 14 horsemen from various areas of Crete.[1]

Η γαμήλια πομπή κατέληξε στον Ιερό Ναό Αγίου Τίτου, στο χωριό Προφήτης Ηλίας, όπου ο γαμπρός έφτασε έφιππος.[2]

Συνολικά 14 πρόσωπα ανέλαβαν τον ρόλο του κουμπάρου.[3]

Όπως αναφέρει το «Δια-SOS-τε τη Μεσαρά», το ζευγάρι επέλεξε να συνδυάσει την ημέρα του γάμου με ένα στοιχείο της κρητικής παράδοσης.[3]
