The institution of marriage is found in all modern and early human societies. It is one of the pillars on which these societies have raised their whole building and has been the subject of study and definition by many religious, philosophical, sociological, psychological, cultural. Despite the numerous borrowings and social changes that Albanian society has experienced, the marriage ceremony is still recognized as one of the most important events in a person's life. Even though the couple seems to choose the rites that will be followed, the guests, the expenses they will have, again each one requires that the wedding be a day that will be remembered. Marriage is organized when the protagonist individuals are in adult age and are spiritually prepared for this important step that will bring changes in their lives and social status. In this study we will concentrate on the elements that are most visible in an Albanian wedding party, ranging from the common elements of the provinces to the ones that make them special that often have brought and amazement among the participating . The writing is based on the Albanian studies so far about this event and partly on foreign author's writings, about the way this Albanian symbols are seen.
