Karen and Zvonko are amazingly beautiful people and more importantly have wonderful hearts. Their wedding was full of music, dancing, a little bit of chaos, tons of laughter and CULTURE up the wazoo... by the way... Macedonians know how to PARTY! Seriously. Haven't seen that much Hennessey being passed around since... guess I never have! Karen and Zvonko incorporated so much tradition from both Macedonian culture and the American marriage ceremony that it was truly a unique and memorable experience. Courtney from Petals Planning did a ridiculously awesome job at coordinating the event. As an FYI for all you brides to be out there - planners and day of coordinators will make your day run so smoothly and make everyone (mothers, uncles, vendors, cousin sue, etc.) HAPPY. Hire one now.... okay... back to K+Z......
This was a rosary that Karen saved (blessed by the pope and given to by her mother) just to use on her wedding day. They said the rosary together in preparation for the wedding.
Waiting for the groom and his entourage... she has to watch him
approach the house through her engagement ring. I love traditions!
{even if I don't know entirely what they always mean}
Drinking out of her shoe... yup... Hennessey...
Kick over a glass of water while on the arms of a single man...
in this case Karen's nephews... LOVE IT!
Quick stop to see grandma since she couldn't make it to the wedding.
Look at grandma's expression. Sweetest.
