I need to buy some type of wrap to cover my shoulders. Any suggestions?

If the Ukrainian Orthodox wedding is the same as a Greek Orthodox wedding (which I'm positive it is, except its spoken in Ukrainian instead of Greek), the ceremony will be approximately 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Wear comfortable shoes--many Orthodox churches don't have pews--be prepared, just in case. Also if the church is really conservative, you might have to cover your hair, so make sure that your wrap can do double-duty.
I'm probably scaring you, lol--every Greek Orthodox church I've been to has pews and only the little old ladies cover their heads--but some parishes really stick to the Old World traditions and I would rather have you overprepared than embarrassed!
