I was making notes on my phone and Kirke asked what I was doing and if she could help. So, here you are, the notes by Kirke the guest blogger, translated from Swedish by me:
Now Kirke has been allowed to add her own notes – Kirke the guest blogger!
Everything is white and lilac and people are throwing coins on the bride – I got a rosebud which felt good because it means good luck in love – PHEW! Rode in a car with a vegan and a guy who’s become interested with feng shui – I gave him the tip about the mirror rule = never have a mirror facing a door or a window. Now we’re drinking pear rakija and are about to begin a tremendous party without equal – let’s go! SCHHVALA!
The dogs here are well taken care of and happy – the music seems to aim for giving tinnitus to all guests, alternately help people avoid small talk – so that they helplessly can shrug their shoulders and blame the volume for not hearing. The men are flocking. How do you get rid of 5 Serbian men? Say that you are a lesbian – works every time! Now I got real food that was vegetarian – after already having given up and eaten the tables side salad so I’ve eaten double. Now I don’t need to worry about starving at least – nice! Very beautiful in the church – gosh it was beautiful! I didn’t understand a word but picked up 100% of the atmosphere and was touched. Imagine what a commitment to get married. In front of God. Fun with a party! Everyone is happy and it’s contagious! Yey!
I have found the best guy in the world to dance with – so liberating! The world’s funniest dance partner. We dance hard and showy and I love Serbian parties. Everything is free and fun – not stiff and stick-in-the-butt-y. Go Belgrade!
Help! I had the best partner today and holy shit did we party. Dance Kirke got to bloom once again, and the energy was just wonderful! We danced all night and finally he started whining (I don’t know his name!) that his feet were sore – we really partied hard! Hahaha I love love Serbian weddings! Seriously!
