If you're wondering why my feed has become a love letter to Croatia... this is why.
Tonight hurt.
Croatia is going home, and somehow millions of us felt that heartbreak together.
But that's the magic of the World Cup.
It reminds us where we come from. It gives us collective joy, collective heartbreak, and a feeling of belonging that's hard to put into words.
As a Croatian-American, those feelings have shaped so much of who I am, including why I love weddings so deeply.
To my clients who gifted me and my family the experience this past weekend... thank you.
I cried for days before accepting because it felt too generous, like winning a lottery I never entered.
This week reminded me that home isn't always a place.
Sometimes it's the people who help you find your way back to it.
Hvala. ❤️🇭🇷
