ABOUT
SLOVAKIA

Did you know?

Slovakia is a landlocked country in Central Europe. It is bordered by Poland to the north, Ukraine to the east, Hungary to the south, Austria to the west, and the Czech Republic to the northwest. Slovakia's mostly mountainous territory spans about 49,000 square kilometres (19,000 sq mi), hosting a population exceeding 5.4 million. The capital and largest city is Bratislava, while the second largest city is Košice.

The Slavs arrived in the territory of the present-day Slovakia in the 5th and 6th centuries. From the late 6th century, parts of modern Slovakia were incorporated into the Avar Khaghanate. In the 7th century, the Slavs played a significant role in the creation of Samo's Empire. In the 9th century, the Avar Khaghanate dissolved, and the Slavs established the Principality of Nitra, which was later conquered by the Principality of Moravia, leading to the formation of Great Moravia. In the 10th century, after the dissolution of Great Moravia, the territory was integrated into the Principality of Hungary, which then became the Kingdom of Hungary in 1000. In 1241 and 1242, after the Mongol invasion of Europe, much of the territory was destroyed, but was recovered largely thanks to Béla IV.

After World War I and the dissolution of Austro-Hungarian Empire, the state of Czechoslovakia was established, incorporating Slovakia. In the lead up to World War II, local fascist parties gradually came to power in the Slovak lands, and the first Slovak Republic was established as a puppet state under the control of Nazi Germany. The local Jewish population was heavily persecuted, with almost 70,000 Jews being murdered or deported. Internal opposition to the fascist government's policies culminated in the Slovak National Uprising, itself triggered by the Nazi German occupation of the country. Although the uprising was eventually suppressed, partisan resistance continued, and Czechoslovak independence was re-established after the country's liberation at the end of the war.

Following the Soviet-backed coup of 1948, Czechoslovakia became a communist state within the Eastern Bloc and a satellite state of the Soviet Union. Attempts to liberalise communism culminated in the Prague Spring, which was suppressed by the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia in August 1968. In 1989, the Velvet Revolution peacefully ended Communist rule in Czechoslovakia. Slovakia became an independent state on 1 January 1993 after the peaceful dissolution of Czechoslovakia, sometimes known as the Velvet Divorce.

Slovakia is a developed country with an advanced high-income economy. The country maintains a combination of a market economy with a comprehensive social security system, providing citizens with universal health care, free education, and one of the longest paid parental leaves in the OECD. Slovakia is a member of the European Union, the Eurozone, the Schengen Area, the United Nations, NATO, CERN, the OECD, the WTO, the Council of Europe, the Visegrád Group, and the OSCE. Slovakia is also home to eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The world's largest per-capita car producer, Slovakia manufactured a total of 1.1 million cars in 2019, representing 43% of its total industrial output.

Can tourists get married in Slovakia?

Yes, tourists can get married in Slovakia, but there are certain requirements and procedures to follow. Here's an overview:

WHAT KIND OF PAPERWORK DO WE NEED TO GET MARRIED IN SLOVAKIA?

Here are some key points to consider:

  1. Legal Requirements: Both parties must meet the legal requirements for marriage in Slovakia. These typically include being of legal age, being unmarried, and having the legal capacity to marry.

  2. Documentation: Tourists must provide certain documents, such as valid passports, birth certificates, and possibly a Certificate of No Impediment (CNI) or similar document from their home country stating that they are free to marry. These documents may need to be translated into Slovak and legalized or apostilled, depending on the regulations.

  3. Residency Requirement: Slovakia does not have a residency requirement for marriage, so tourists can typically get married without having to reside in the country for a certain period beforehand.

  4. Civil Ceremony: Marriage in Slovakia is usually performed in a civil ceremony conducted at a registry office (matrika). Some couples may also choose to have a religious ceremony in addition to the civil one.

  5. Notification: Couples must notify the registry office of their intention to marry in advance and schedule an appointment. This can usually be done in person or through an authorized representative.

  6. Witnesses: Two witnesses are required to be present at the ceremony. These can be friends or family members who are of legal age.

  7. Registration: After the ceremony, the marriage must be registered with the registry office, and the couple will receive a marriage certificate.

    It's important for couples to contact the relevant registry office in Slovakia well in advance to understand the specific requirements and procedures for getting married as tourists. Additionally, hiring a local wedding planner or coordinator can help navigate the process and ensure that all necessary steps are followed.

What is a SLOVAKIAN wedding like?

A Slovakian wedding is a joyous celebration deeply rooted in tradition, family, and community. Here's what you can expect at a traditional Slovakian wedding:

  1. Pre-Wedding Customs: Slovakian weddings often begin with pre-wedding customs and rituals. These may include "The Bride's Farewell" where the bride bids farewell to her family, and the "Bridal Kidnapping" where the groom must "kidnap" the bride with the help of his groomsmen.

  2. Religious and Civil Ceremonies: Slovakian weddings typically involve both a religious ceremony, usually held in a church, and a civil ceremony conducted at a registry office (matrika). The religious ceremony is often followed by the civil one, where legal vows are exchanged.

  3. Traditional Attire: The bride typically wears a white gown, while the groom wears a suit or traditional Slovakian attire, such as a "kroj" (folk costume). The bridal party and guests also dress in their finest attire.

  4. Music and Dancing: Music and dancing play a central role in Slovakian weddings. Traditional folk music, often performed by live bands, fills the air as guests join in traditional dances like the "kolo" and "čardáš." These lively dances continue late into the night, creating a festive atmosphere.

  5. Feasting and Toasts: Slovakian weddings are known for their lavish feasts and banquets. Guests enjoy a variety of traditional dishes, including "halušky" (dumplings), "pork roast," and "koláče" (pastries). Toasts and speeches are made throughout the evening, expressing well wishes for the newlyweds.

  6. Wedding Games and Customs: Various games and customs are incorporated into Slovakian weddings to add fun and entertainment. These may include the breaking of a plate for good luck, the throwing of coins for prosperity, and the "veil dance" where single women dance with the bride's veil.

  7. Symbolic Traditions: Slovakian weddings are rich in symbolism. For example, the breaking of a loaf of bread by the newlyweds symbolizes the sharing of their lives together, while the exchange of wedding rings represents their eternal love and commitment.

Overall, a Slovakian wedding is a joyous and memorable occasion filled with love, laughter, and cherished traditions, bringing together family and friends to celebrate the union of two individuals.

All Kind oF weddings and ELOPEMENTS

Weddings vary greatly across different cultures, traditions, and personal preferences. Here's a brief overview of various types of weddings:

  1. Traditional Weddings: These weddings typically follow cultural or religious customs and traditions specific to a particular community or region. Examples include Christian, Hindu, Muslim, Jewish, Sikh, and Buddhist weddings, each with its own rituals and ceremonies.

  2. Civil Weddings: Also known as courthouse weddings, civil weddings are officiated by a government official, such as a judge, justice of the peace, or a civil marriage commissioner. They often involve a simple ceremony with legal vows and minimal formalities.

  3. Destination Weddings: Couples choose to have their weddings at a location away from their hometown, often in exotic or picturesque destinations. These weddings can range from intimate beach ceremonies to elaborate events at luxury resorts.

  4. Outdoor Weddings: Held in natural settings such as gardens, parks, vineyards, or beaches, outdoor weddings offer a scenic backdrop for the ceremony and reception. They often embrace nature and incorporate elements like floral decorations and outdoor activities.

  5. Themed Weddings: Couples personalize their weddings by choosing a specific theme that reflects their interests or hobbies. Themes can range from vintage, rustic, and bohemian to movie-inspired, fairytale, and cosplay weddings.

  6. Eco-Friendly Weddings: With a focus on sustainability and environmental responsibility, eco-friendly weddings minimize waste and carbon footprints by using recycled materials, opting for organic food and flowers, and choosing eco-conscious vendors.

  7. LGBTQ+ Weddings: Same-sex couples celebrate their love with weddings that may follow traditional or personalized ceremonies, depending on their preferences. LGBTQ+ weddings highlight inclusivity and equality in marriage.

  8. Micro Weddings: In intimate gatherings with a small guest list, micro weddings prioritize quality time with loved ones over the scale of the event. They often involve fewer than 50 guests and can be more budget-friendly and personalized.

  9. Multicultural Weddings: Couples from different cultural backgrounds blend their traditions and customs to create a unique wedding experience that honors both of their heritages. These weddings celebrate diversity and foster cultural exchange.

  10. Virtual Weddings: In response to circumstances such as the COVID-19 pandemic, couples may choose to host virtual weddings, where guests participate remotely via video conferencing platforms. Virtual weddings enable couples to share their special day with friends and family worldwide while prioritizing safety.

These are just a few examples of the diverse range of weddings celebrated worldwide, each reflecting the personalities, values, and preferences of the couples involved.
