Summary/Abstract: The present essay aims at describing the literary motif of wedding in the Romanian literature. Given the complexity of the topic,we selected a few representative titles from the work of Liviu Rebreanu, G. Călinescu, E. Barbu, Mircea Eliade, famous prose writers, and also from romantic poets, such as M. Eminescu and G. Coșbuc. The symbolical meaning of the motif prevails in some works, while the social and personal meaning is emphasized in others. A blend of several levels of significance is often intended.
