They used the cultural manifestation "Macedonian Ethno Wedding", which is traditionally held in the neighboring village of Novaci, to get married in the church of St. Athanasius before the priests.

The bride has 70 and the groom 73 years. They say that because of various circumstances, they couldn't get married, but they are happy to have sworn to be together in front of the God in a lifetime of loyalty.

The municipality of Novaci gave them a wedding celebration, and they were the main attraction at this cultural event, during which a national folk costume show was held from various parts of Macedonia and there was a gastronomic competition in making of the traditional dishes.
