Thanks for taking us along on your travels. Now I want to go to Croatia! I love your rosemary illustration and can't wait to bake the bread.

Such an evocative post, Vicki! So fascinating to learn about the beautiful customs surrounding your son’s wedding, especially the symbolism of rosemary. Congratulations to the couple and to your families. The recipe for rosemary bread sounds like a keeper.

Thanks Ruth. I did enjoy learning about the long tradition of rosemary and weddings. Using nature, other than flowers that we have come to expect, was also appealing.

So enjoyed your post....helped me feel as if I was almost there with the pictures and detalled descriptions. Thank you for posting simple recipes - I can be easily intimidated by more experienced cooks. I am so happy the wedding went well.

Lovely post, Vicki! The detail about the rosemary and baby’s breath bracelets was especially interesting. I love Eastern Europe...I have never been to Croatia or Serbia, but they are high on my list! Sounds like you had a wonderful time.
