DIFFERENT COUNTRY, DIFFERENT WEDDING TRADITION

by Gabriela 2023-03-222023-03-23

Each country has its own culture, traditions and customs. It is the fact that we are different that makes us enjoy travelling and getting to know foreign countries. And just as we are different, so are the wedding customs of brides and grooms around the world. While the main wedding custom here in the Czech Republic is for the newlyweds to sweep up the broken plates together and to eat soup with one spoon, in Turkey, which was my second home for several years, it is a tradition for the …

I have recently been studying a great course from University of London focused on Global Diplomacy and International Relations. When I was submitting my Assignment on the topic ‘Qualities of a good diplomat’, I had to smile because all qualities and skills which came to my mind completely matched the qualities and skills of a good international events planner.

OUTDOOR WEDDINGS

by Gabriela 2021-08-102021-12-21

For weddings it doubles because you don’t want to spoil a day which should be one of the most special day in couple´s lives.
