This time I spend on a week in joy!
Wedding and baptism with my relatives.
The opportunity to get a little sorted out, playing and hanging out.
Somehow I don't stay much time for socializing and going out ...

There's drinks and dinner...
It is played with Serbian folk songs...

These are nice customs, when you come to pick up a bride,and the brothers don't give her... The groom offers money to let her go. This is of course symbolic... But their conversation is interesting, in fact a competition, who who will outsmart...

Then the groom needs to hit the apple with a rifle, and the sieve is thrown over the roof...
All this so that the marriage starts well, lasts a long time and they have many children....

In recent times, weddings are held after a year or two of marriage, and at the same time a child or children are baptized.... All for one cost...

This brought modern times, and slowly the customs before the wedding itself were lost!

A love song goes with this.

"I long to tell you the deepest words I have to tell you;
but I dare not, fearing she might laugh at me.
That's why I laugh at myself, and tell my secret in jest.
I take my pain lightly, fearing that she might do it to you...

... I long to tell you the most faithful words I have to tell you;
but I dare not, fearing she might suspect them.
That is why I clothe them in falsehood, and speak contrary to what I think.
I let my pain look stupid, afraid she might do it to you...

... I long to use the most precious words I have for you;
but I dare not, fearing that it will not return to me in the same measure.
That's why I call you ugly names and brag about my cruelty.
I give you pain, fearing that you will never know what pain is...

I long to sit silently next to you,
but I dare not, because otherwise my heart would leap out of my mouth.
So I babble and chatter around, and fill my heart with words.
I take my pain harshly, fearing that she might do it to you...
