A Velvet Marriage
Of course, Czechoslovakia ended in 1993 with what is known here as the 'Velvet Divorce.' Czechs and Slovaks decided after the revolution to go their separate ways. Both are now EU members. But who says the divorce is final? My student Katja, who is Slovak, married her husband, who is Czech, this past summer. The wedding took place in Katja's hometown of Poprad, located in the High Tatry Mountains in northwest Slovakia. The photo is a typically Czech-Slovak wedding. The night before, it is custom here that the bride is kidnapped. The groom has to find her (usually she is 'held hostage' at a pub) by going from pub to pub, buying everyone drinks, until he finds and rescues his bride-to-be. As you can see, the search was a success! The couple had their first child this past month.

Kidnapped and made to crouch on a stool in a bar, swallowing gulps of European beer? I could think of worse things ... like just about everything.

Hi... For some reason strange things are hapenning with your site layout. The margins look all screwed up. I didn't do this the other day. I don't know if it's my end or if you've made a change... Just thought you might want to look at it.

That’s an informative post, no doubt. Well, there’s part of it which I cannot concede with. The rest is fine. May be I’m over-indulging a bit or this is my kind of thinking. Neways, keep all this good work going for your future blogs. Have already shared your blog with my friends and they too think you have done a good job out there. Congratulations!

Appreciate all your insight your speaking about it so everyone else is able to know! Definitely will keep in mind. But, what I finally figured out is, you got to reignite the situation that first made it work early on and also prevent a ton of bad steps we all make naturally if you want to save the marriage

Great advice your speaking about it so everyone else is able to know! Will use for sure. Also, I never thought of it before, but later learned, you have to reignite the place that first attracted you both and also stop doing a ton of bad choices we all make naturally if you want to save marriage alone

Great advice your talking about it so others will know! Definitely will keep in mind. To tell you the truth, the trick for me, you got to bring about the situation that first made it work early on and also avoid a ton of bad steps we all do at first if you want to save marriage alone
