The traditional Ukrainian wedding bread is called korovai.

From the weblog What We Ate:

"A brief note on the cultural significance of the korovai: The korovai is viewed as a symbol of the family and community's acceptance of the recently married couple. Traditionally, the korovai is baked communally, by the happily married women of the town. Apparently, the inclusion of unhappily married women (or, presumably, single women and those living in sin) is bad luck. The korovainytsi, or korovai-bakers, gather at the home of the bride's family, each korovainytsia bringing one ingredient -- be it flour, eggs, milk, water. Steeped in ritual as this tradition is, the flour is supposed to be from seven mills, the water from seven wells, the milk from seven cows, the eggs from seven chickens. It's apparently also good luck for the korovainytsi to bring vodka to drink during the baking process, though there's no word on whether the liquor need be from seven distilleries."
