The article presents ritual Montenegrin vocabulary referring to names of people who deal with the preparation of wedding and wedding reception, as well as the participants of the wedding procession. The examined lexis in mostly of pre-Slavonic origin, accepted without any semantic changes, or, more frequently, one that underwent semantic evolution or change. Among Slavonic names we can distinguish both pre-Slavonic lexemes (djever, domacin, gospodar, svat), and the ones which underwent significant evolution (vojvoda, kruska). The derivates from pre-Slavonic lexemes, common for all the area of Serbian language (nabiguzica, nozar, pratigac, prosac, provodadzija, pustosvat, uglavar, zasjeda), constitute the biggest group. Taking into account geographical and historical character of the area, we might be surprised to find a group of Gallicisms (archaisms from the Dalmatian-Romance local dialect: buklijas, cuturas) or borrowings from the Turkish language: barjaktar, buljubasa, caus, jamak, mustulugdzija (these are mostly lexemes from the area of Turkish military terminology, which originated from the similarity between a wedding procession and an army unit).
