Girl Meets Boy
We met in a martial arts gym – a place you can rely on more than Tinder – where, much like in "The Office", many tend to find a pair!
We survived a year of friendship filled with pasta meals, zefir, jiu-jitsu competitions, and sprained ankles, only to begin our "together forever" journey right before the great Covid lockdown of 2020.
More than four years later, Dean still struggles to make Jana laugh, but he makes up for it with his cooking skills and good looks. Jana excels in eating large amounts of said cooked food, great dancing, and her ability to remember where things are at home.
Looking to the future, we're excited to continue fighting over how to decorate our future home, whether breakfast should be sweet or savoury, and who takes longer to get ready.
Join us as we celebrate the beginning of the rest of our lives together with a few words, followed by dinner, drinks, and plenty of dancing!
Travel
Depending on where you're choosing to stay, you can fly to Venice, Pula or Ljubljana airports.
The venue is 16km away from Koper and within similar distance from Izola and Piran, if you're staying by the coast. We aim to arrange transporation for the day of the wedding, which we will be confirming with guests individually.
If you want to see more of Istria, the best way is to rent a car. We've had good experience using Sixt. Parking will also be available at the wedding venue.
Things to do
Relax on the stunning beaches of the Istrian coast, explore Croatian town of Rovinj, or stay in Slovenia for picturesque lakeside and coastal escapes.
Cycle along the scenic Parenzana Path, winding through Slovenia’s charming towns of Koper, Izola, and Piran, with views of the Adriatic Sea.
Fuel up with savory bites like burek, calamari, gnocchi, or Istrian fuži, treat yourself to gibanica, kremšnita, and more, and enjoy local wines.

Is the wedding outdoors?
Our wedding ceremony and reception will be held in an outdoor marquee, with indoor bathroom and bar facilities.
How will food and drinks be served?
Upon arrival, there will be drinks and appetizers to kick off the celebration. We’ll have delicious main meals and a salad bar to satisfy every appetite, followed by our wedding cake for dessert. To keep the energy up, we’ll also be serving a warm midnight minestrone. Exact details are still to be confirmed.
Are kids welcome?
Absolutely! We’d love to meet your little ones and have them celebrate with us. Just please give us a heads up so we can make sure everything’s set for them to have a great time!

The dress code is Summer Elegant – feel free to dress comfortably while looking your beautiful best. It's all about enjoying the day and feeling great!
What if I have a dietary restriction?
Once we have our final headcount, we’ll be reaching out to confirm any dietary restrictions or preferences.
What will the weather be like?
The weather in Koper, in early June is usually warm, with daytime temperatures ranging from 20-25°C. However, it can be a bit cooler in the evenings. We’ll be keeping an eye on the forecast and will update you closer to the date!
What kind of shoes should I wear?
Calling all ladies! While there will be a wooden floor under the marquee, there are grassy areas you may need to walk through. We recommend chunky heels or sandals to keep your shoes safe and your ankles intact!
Who do I contact if I have any questions?
Reach out to Jana or Dean directly or drop us an email at
