Wedding Gift Ideas

Here's information from Maja and Jonathon about two shops in Croatia where you can purchase wedding gift certificates for the happy couple's new apartment:

VIVA: Kaptol Centar, Nova Ves 11/II, 10 000 Zagreb; tel. 00385-1-4860-611 http://www.vivax.com.hr

Maja also indicated they would be most grateful for gift certicates to Crate and Barrel and Pottery Barn (U.S. shops).

The Official Wedding Invitation

The Wedding Day is Fast Approaching

Here's a picture of the planning committee for the wedding -- at our last lunch in Croatia in May. Maja and Tatjana have been leading the charge, picking the menu, florist, music, etc. Of course, Jonathon has been in on all the decisions as well! I've been doing what I can from the U.S. -- if there is a subject you'd like to see addressed on the blog about the wedding, please e-mail me! Today, the countdown begins!

The Beauty of Croatia Awaits

Of course, there are thousands of beautiful photos of Croatia available on the web. Here are just a few shots from my recent trip to Zagreb -- you will find it equally beautiful when you visit in September for the wedding.

Maja and Jonathon Are Getting Married

This blog is dedicated to the wedding of my dear friends, Jonathon and Maja, who I've known for a very long time -- even before I was married! We met in Croatia way back when and were part of a special circle of friends. We love them dearly, even if we all know that they are a bit disorganized. So, it will not come as a suprise to any of you reading this that some of us got together and offered to help organize a few things for the wedding.....Tatjana is leading the charge back in Zagreb and I'm trying to pull my weight from here in the States! So, sit back, enjoy, add your comments as you see fit (fun and lighthearted, please) and learn more about the two people about to be married, their choice of location and the wonders of my adopted home, Croatia!

Fun Wedding Related Events

Jonathon and his buddies are planning a fun-filled bachelor party -- no details have been divulged for obvious reasons......but I suspect that there will be much rakija (plum brandy) and pivo (beer)! In fact, Croatian beer, including Karlovacko, is something that shouldn't be missed during your trip! A rehearsal dinner will also take place on Friday night, details to follow. Please check back here for updates about these events.
