Our dear bride received gold ducats, which served as earrings, from her Croatian aunt. In addition, she got a wonderful sash with the Croatian national colors. She cut off her actual wedding dress by hand and only put on the skirt for the second wedding party. She thought it was much nicer because it had a touch more boho or free spirit.
It was a very relaxed and natural festival in which celebrating, eating and drinking were the focus, with no time schedule or any conventions.
We have particularly emotional memories of the moment when the bride’s aunt showed up with a Croatian band, Ava was so deeply touched, just beautiful! And there was wild dancing, just wonderful.
And of course the two of them said a few nice words to each other at sunset, even if not completely sober. 😉
