The research into wedding and its diverse aspects is still topical, despite many studies and publications focused on that theme. It is a phenomenon that permanently changes, develops and adapts to various conditions. The contribution focuses on different forms of two selected wedding elements during one century. In 1942, the Slovak Matica carried out the first all-Slovakian survey within which a questionnaire was filled in the village of Veľké Rovné (north-west of Slovakia). The questionnaire served as a starting point to evaluate and compare wedding elements at the turn of the 20th century, which were supplemented with the author ́s research conducted since the 1940s. Erecting trees in bride ́s and bridegroom ́s yards is a certain regional specific feature which has survived from the oldest records to date. The questionnaire discovered an interesting fact that at the turn of the centuries the local version of one part of the wedding ceremony (making an apology to the parents) was not known within the contemporary Slovakia.
