Dress Code: Boho Summer Casual

Think relaxed, breezy, and lake-friendly. Linen, flowy dresses, sandals, moccasins, flats, and soft summer colors are perfect. No tuxedos, no ties, no high heels, and no overly fancy dresses required.

We will be by the lake, so there will be wind, water, sunshine, and absolutely no air conditioning. Plan accordingly.

Also, there will be no professional hairstylist or makeup artist touching us up before the ceremony, so guests are kindly asked not to look better than the bride and groom. That would be awkward! 😜

+1 Policy

If you are attending solo, or your significant other sadly cannot make it, you are welcome to bring a +1 of your choice. Bring someone who will make the weekend more fun, take decent photos of you by the lake, and not disappear when it is time to dance.

We only ask that your +1 be someone you genuinely enjoy spending time with, because if they are coming all the way to Radozda, they should at least pass the “good company for a lake weekend” test.

Smoking Policy

To keep the terrace comfortable for our younger guests, we kindly ask that there be no smoking on the terrace during the celebration.

We know Macedonian rules may consider an open terrace fair game, but our American logic has entered the chat: if there is a roof, the smoke does not exactly disappear into the sky. It tends to come right back down and join the party uninvited.

For our smoking guests, we will have a designated smoking bar area with cigarette supplies available. Yes, actual cigarette supplies! We are not banning the habit, just giving it its own VIP section.

The Menu

Our menu will include a little bit of everything: dairy, poultry, pork, beef, and other traditional celebration dishes.

We understand that August 15 falls during the Orthodox fasting season, and we deeply respect anyone who chooses to fast. At the same time, our view is that fasting is a personal and spiritual matter, not something meant for public display or pressure. So please feel free to honor your own practice in the way that feels right for you.

There will be plenty of food, plenty of love, and absolutely no judgment at the table. Eat what you are comfortable eating, skip what you prefer to skip, and enjoy the evening with us. The only required item on the menu is good company

The Music

Our music will be a curated playlist of songs that mean the most to us — the ones that have been there through our happy moments, sad moments, funny moments, dramatic moments, road trips, kitchen dancing, and everything in between.

Instead of live music, we chose to create a soundtrack that feels personal to our story and brings a little bit of us into the celebration. Some songs may make you dance, some may make you smile, and some may make us remember exactly where we were when they first became “our” songs.

Expect a mix of nostalgia, joy, dancing, and music that has lived with us for a long time.

Games & Activities

We will have a few wedding games for both adults and children, because apparently eating, drinking, dancing, and judging each other’s outfits is not enough entertainment.

There will be games, friendly competition, and probably at least one person who suddenly takes things way too seriously. Bring your competitive spirit, your sense of humor, and your best team-player energy.

For our youngest guests, we will also have coloring books, toys, balloons, and small activities to keep them busy, happy, and hopefully not organizing a rebellion near the lake.
