The day my sister got married was very special for me.
Early in the morning we headed to the mountain Fruska gora in the north of Serbia, in the province of Vojvodina. Fruska gora is located in the middle of the plain and is known for many monasteries that I wrote about in my previous posts. My sister's wedding was in the Mala Remeta monastery.
It is a very old monastery from the 13th century. In translation, it means small desert. Maybe it used to be deserted there, but now it isn't. It is a beautiful area, surrounded by vineyards.
The wedding ceremony was conducted according to Orthodox customs, which were slightly different in the monastery than in churches.
It was still summer, but the weather didn't cooperate. The temperature was an incredible 12 degrees, which was unusual for that time of year. My sister couldn't even dream that it would be winter in the end of summer, so she chose a vineyard as the wedding venue.
The idea was for the guests to sit outside in the courtyard of the Deuric winery, known for its good wines. Everything was designed for an outdoor concept. To get married right in the vineyard and to enjoy the summer September atmosphere.
But we cannot influence the weather. Actually, we can never be sure that everything will be exactly as we planned. That's why we should embrace unexpected situations and make the best out of everything.
That's exactly how it was. We didn't let the weather spoil our mood and we had a great time inside in the beautiful ambiance of the winery with good wines and a lively atmosphere.
The vineyards of this region are a real treasure, and if you are on the road, stop by to drink good wine and enjoy the natural landscapes.
Thank you for reading.
