Lake Bled: Don’t leave this Earth until you’ve seen it. (source)
The British newspaper The Independent recently ran a story about foreigners coming to Slovenia to get married, entitled "Slovenia: A Land for Love." The byline says, somewhat insultingly, "Tim Walker finds Slovenia more romantic than it sounds" which in plain English means: "It may sound like a crappy country — but it isn’t!" Oh well.
Although I’ve heard of people coming to Slovenia for bachelor parties and benders, this was the first time I’d heard of this. But it’s true, as this page plainly attests: Weddings in Slovenia. It’s operated by a Bled-based family that will organize your entire wedding, including a kick-ass fireworks show.
If you’re curious, the Independent story follows one couple, Gideon and Rebecca, through their marriage in Bled, ending with Gideon carrying his new bride up the flight of 99 stairs to the famous wishing bell. Pilgrims used to go up those stairs on their knees… I suppose they can give that a try next time, if they decide to renew their vows.
