Summary/Abstract: In nowadays wedding customs, and not only, are partially changed and partially they remain the same. Some customs are well preserved even today, but, unfortunately, numerous rituals and practices from the past are either forgotten or they are no longer performed. Some old customs are deep rooted in the Karashovean mentality, and those are the ones that continue to exist. In comparison with other Serbian communities from Romanian Banat county, customs, rituals and language are better preserved in the Karashovean villages, due to the fact that the Karashovean community was until not long ago considered to be shut and conservative.
