Arán & Zoran

Our Story

Five years and a thousand miles

We met on the golden sands of Gran Canaria in 2021. Years of long flights, late calls, and shared sunsets brought us to a night in Porto — fireworks above, lanterns drifting, and a ring. Now we bring our two worlds together in the green hills of Šumadija.

Two Worlds Meeting

What to Expect

A little guide so no one feels lost — whether you're flying in from Las Palmas, Sydney, or arriving from Belgrade.

For our international guests

A Serbian Wedding

The Kolo — a circle dance where everyone holds hands. You don't need to know it; just follow.
The feast is long — hours of food, music, toasts. Pace yourself.
Rakija — strong Serbian fruit brandy. Sip, don't shot.
The five-hour gap is on purpose: rest, wander, drink coffee.

For our Serbian guests

A Touch of Spain

Arán is from Gran Canaria — Spanish warmth and family come too.
You'll hear Spanish all night — be kind, hug freely, dance.
Some traditions will mix — Atlantic and Šumadija, in one room.

Between Ceremony and Party

Explore Kragujevac

Five free hours is a gift. Here's how Zoran would spend them.
