Na začetku pravzaprav niti nama ni bilo povsem jasno, zakaj piševa poročni blog. Gre predvsem za to, da sva želela deliti veselje in pričakovanje najinega poročnega dne. Želela sem pisati o sami organizaciji, pa se je v mojem primeru vse zelo močno prepletalo s poslom in celo zelo zasebnimi cilji ter čutenji in prav je, da je mogoče prebrati tudi kaj od tega, čeprav pri pisanju nisva utegnila biti tako ažurna kot sva si želela. Poroka je poseben mejnik v življenju in glede na to, da sva se zares spoznala (kot fant in dekle z željo, da bi se nekoč poročila) šele lani septembra, sem vsaj jaz čutila, da moram nekako izraziti (če ne kar opravičiti) dejstvo, zakaj bo Aljaž moj mož in da misliva to narediti čisto zares. Čisto, čisto zares :)

V času priprav na najino poroko sva imela čast izvedbe glasbe na treh porokah. Vsi poslušalci so bili navdušeni! Kot Kristina Angelika - po poklicu krajinska arhitektka, v srcu pevka in novopečena podjetnica sem imela za poletje visoke cilje glede glasbenih nastopov, vendar jih z Aljažem nisva uspela vseh uresničiti. Še dobro, da sva pridobila številne kontakte, ki nama bodo na skupni glasbeni poti prišli še kako prav. Sedaj, ko se je po najini poroki vse skupaj končno vsaj malo umirilo (še dobro, da se poročiš praviloma le enkrat v življenju, ker to je lahko res VELIK projekt!) že načrtujeva malo bolj v naprej in prepričana sem, da bova v prihodnje lahko polepšala še veliko porok. Naslednja je že 20. septembra na Vrhniki, pravzaprav pa greva tisti dan pet še na eno APZ poroko. Pestro!
Za vedno |
Pisanje bloga je bilo poleg "uradne" priprave na zakon (ki sva jo opravila pri iskreni.net) čudovita izkušnja, še posebej je bilo zanimivo brati objave drug drugega. Nekaj najlepšega pa je odziv prijateljice, ki dolgo ni omenila nič, nato pa sva dobila sporočilo, ki ga bom kar objavila:
Na žalost včeraj nisem mogla biti z vama, kljub temu, da sem celo poletje planirala, da pridem na THE wedding na Koroško.
Vidim, da sta žarela od sreče in da je vse teklo po načrtih - z vremenom vred. Po mojem sem bila vajina najbolj zvesta bralka bloga in zdaj čakam na grand finale
Želim vama zares veliko lepih trenutkov na vajini skupni poti. Mislim, da se ne motim, da ta citat zelo lepo opiše vaju... Naj bo to moje "darilo". Nikoli ne pozabit, zakaj se imata rada in zakaj sta si rekla tisti usoden "Da!".
Zdaj pa pogumno naprej!
Zdaj pa pogumno naprej!
Naj se na koncu v imenu obeh zahvalim vsem skupaj in vsakemu posebej za vso pomoč pri organizaciji najinega poročnega dne, za vse spodbude in popestritev najinih življenj do točke, kjer se nahajava sedaj, ter seveda za vse lepe želje in ČUDOVITA darila, ki sva jih prejela. HVALA, HVALA, HVALA vam! Rada se pohecava, da imava v nebesih "veze", zato smo tudi imeli SIJAJNO vreme (po tako kislem poletju!). Vse skupaj nama je bilo še posebej všeč, ker vas je bilo res ogromno, ki ste se naju spomnili tudi preko emailov, Facebooka, smsov in še kje. Upava, da bova lahko vse dobro, ki ste nama ga namenili, četudi le s svojo prisotnostjo ali skromnim sporočilcem, kdaj povrnila. Še enkrat ISKRENA HVALA!

Tudi vi lahko uresničite svoje sanje, le pogumno!

The Last (and First) Step
If this wedding and our story can be an incentive for somebody to take this definitive step, then the purpose of this blog has been reached. We've enjoyed every step of the journey so far and we're excited to see what life as husband and wife has to offer!
Looking back at the beginning, it's hard to say what was the overall purpose of these writings (at least in the beginning). When Kristina first came up with the idea, I agreed simply because of the fact that I miss writing. But looking back on it, it turned out to be so much more. It gave us an additional opportunity to talk certain things out before getting married and I think that this blog, rather than just describing the wedding preparations, became a part of the preparations itself. So, thank you, the readers, for your attention, support, and feedback! :)
But now that it's all said and done, what else is left to say? I guess, onward to newer challenges. :) Although planning and getting ready for the wedding was a lot of fun, it was also very stressful in a lot of ways. But fortunately, we received a lot of help, financial and otherwise, from a lot of different sources: parents, relatives, friends, random benefactors, etc. We've met some great people along the way who have helped inspire us to think big! So, thank you, everyone, who's had a hand at making our special day truly extraordinary! :)
With all the decorations in place, the wedding dress and suit pressed to perfection, the rings shiny, and the bans in tune, it was time to kick off August 30, 2014. Honestly, we didn't have a clue as to how many people would attend the ceremonies, but everything still turned out great. Thank you, everyone who took time to come all the way to Koroška to be with us! And also, thank you, everyone else, who didn't get this chance, but who still sent us good vibes and the best wishes (see message above)! :)
The wedding ceremony, especially the one in the church was my personal highlight of the day. The truly heartwarming sermon delivered by our mutual benefactor, Mr. Jožef Kastelic, was made that much more memorable by the singing provided by APZ Tone Tomšič with singers and guests from KAPZ Mohorjan, especially Nežka P. (accompanied by Žiga B.). Thank you APZ Tone Tomšič, , conducted by Sebastjan Vrhovnik, and thank you, assistant conductor Peter Smolič. And lastly, thank you, Benjamina Kolar for displaying your prowess on the church organ! :)
A big thanks for a couple of surprise guests at the party! :) |
Thank you, everyone, who's been with us on this wonderful path, thank you for all the advice, wishes, help, support, and, of course, thanks for all the PRESENTS! :) You've made our path to an independent life a lot easier.
And last but not least, we would like to thank God for the plan that included us, you, and a sunny August 30, 2014!
