Summary/Abstract: This article maps the wedding ceremony and its song repertoire in the Stará Pazova locality during two time periods: the first half of the 20th century and the second half of the 20thcentury, indicating their developmental changes. The author provides a succinct description of the wedding ceremony, considered in its individual phases, and traces the incidence of songs, including the category of wedding ceremony songs. The song repertoire documented in the wedding context was classified in terms of basic typology and musico-stylistic layers. In conclusion, there is an indication of the potential for comparison of the wedding ceremony and wedding ceremony songs with material from the territory of Slovakia, especially from the regions from which inhabitants of Stará Pazova come.
