Jelena and Joao got married in the Algarve this August. They came all the way from Canada to celebrate. Joao is originally form Portugal and Jelena is half Macedonian and half Bosnian, between these two families there was many hugs, many kisses – sometimes 2 sometimes 3 – and a dance party like no other.
This was a wedding where not only did I share the brides name but also her cultural background and we both grew up in Toronto! It was serendipity!
There were Canadian traditions, Portuguese traditions, Macedonian and Bosnian traditions all rolled into one fantastically awesome day. For me this wedding was amazing but what really made it stand out was the feeling of nostalgia it inspired in me. I recognised some of the traditional folk music and dancing known as “kolo”. It was super entertaining!
