Hi, guys, after a long silence, there's some news, as you already know me and Niko've got married on the 19th of july and finally have uploaded the pictures. Everybody asks how do we feel, well, the same as before... even now when I look at the pictures it seems like a dream, a nice one of course, with all these clothes, ceremonies, guests and so on. Two years ago in Denmark we didn't have plans to get married, or at least not that fast, but you see the result ... I'll write a few words about the traditions here, becase probably they are a bit different. The ceremony in the hall is obligatory and without this civil document you cannot go to the church. The church is not obligatory, it lasts abou 20-25 min but there's a long variant which is more than an hour, most people don't choose it, neither we. In the restaurant where's the party first the two mothers welcome us with this kind of bread called " pita" , Niko's mother dips a piece of it into salt, pepper and honey which should symbolize the salty and sweet things of life and then gives it to me, niko and the godparents. After that we drink champaigne and walk along this white thing on the floor and I should hit a small pot with two flowers inside- red and white, the red for a boy and the white for a girl, one day we'll see whether it's true or not :)). And then the party starts, there were two guys with traditional clothings , the man playing on the pipe, and the woman singing and on this music we play " horo" it's a traditional dance, all people in a line. Niko's cousin is also a singer and sang a few songs, again traditional, for us. A bit down on the pictures you'll see me and Niko holding againa this special bread, the one who has the bigger piece will dominate in the house and Niko's very happy with his piece. The same thing is in the civil hall - the one who steps on the other's foot after the signatures will dominate, and that time I was quicker, so there' s equilibrium. And I think that were the tradional things. There was a part of our school brass band playing a few pieces, my sister with the red dress. And after that the rock band, it's called MU from medical university, although the singer is not a doctor. And the other things you see :))
And finally here's the link to the pictures :)) http://picasaweb.google.com/svandeva/SvatbaSilviaINiko
