The wedding in the Czech Republic was a fantastic experience for many reasons; however, the most important reason was seeing Pavla married to a bright, sensitive young man. I posted a few pictures of our week, both from the wedding and the surrounding countryside.
Here are two items which I really liked about the Czech "wedding experience", compared to our American version:
- The day before the wedding, the couple visits the cemetery to remember and thank relatives who were important in their lives.
- In the morning before the ceremony, the couple visits the parent's homes to formally thank their parents, and receive a blessing.
There were other items of a similar nature, but the key focus was on "the family".
Finally ... you may wish to link to my comments about our quick trip to Krakow.
What music was used (sung) when the bridal veil was removed? My mother told me it is Loceni. I would like to get a copy of this for my daughter's wedding. Any ideas where I can find it?

Rich - what incredibly beautiful countryside! I expected to hear "The Sound of Music" at any moment.
