A Magical Weekend: My First Serbian Wedding Experience
This past weekend, I had the incredible honor of attending my Serbian friend’s wedding—and what an unforgettable experience it was! While it wasn’t a fully traditional Serbian wedding, it was a beautiful blend of modern elegance and local flair that left me smiling all weekend long.

Final Thoughts
Attending this wedding reminded me of everything I love about being in Serbia: the community, the emotion, the elegance, and the ability to celebrate love in such an intentional, joyful way. While it may not have followed every Serbian wedding tradition, it was a perfect reflection of the couple’s personality—and a truly magical event from start to finish.
To my dear friend and her new husband: thank you for including me in your special day. Your wedding was not only a celebration of your love but also a beautiful memory I’ll carry with me for a long time.
