A Croatian Wedding For These Teachers Who Fell In Love At First Sight

A Croatian Wedding For These Teachers Who Fell In Love At First Sight

When Nikola first walked into Andrea’s classroom, she knew there was something special there. As teachers at the same school, they both knew they had just experienced love at first sight.

Nikola and Andrea had always had a weekly ritual; every Sunday they would go out on an exciting adventure together!

“This particular Sunday, he took me away on a row boat picnic date where I found a letter in the picnic basket. This is when he asked me to be his wife. It is a moment I will never forget.”

This memorable proposal set the scene for a classic wedding, with romantic white and green florals.

This heart-warming celebration incorporated the couple’s beautiful Croatian traditions effortlessly.

“In pure Croatian tradition, the groom and his family arrived to the bride’s home to celebrate with lots of dancing and singing … all this before the ceremony! It set the scene for a joyful day.”

The most memorable moments for the happy couple were spending every moment, day and night together side by side, celebrating in their love for one another.

“The best part of the day for me was when we walked outside of the church, moments after we said I do, and Nikola said, ‘you’re my wife now’ with the biggest smile on his face.”

We wish the happy couple all the best for their wonderful lives together!
