Jenny's Wedding
Choreographed with Love:
Friday, November 1st, 2025 – a special day, long awaited by all of us at Zornitza. It was the day our beloved friend and fellow dancer Jenny said “I do”.
It was the kind of day you don’t want to end—one where the air feels charged with excitement and warmth, and every moment seems to shimmer with meaning. As we made our way to the restaurant, our “Nosii” neatly packed for our surprise dance, we were filled with pure excitement to be a part of Jenny and Lucas’ fairytale. The restaurant was already filled with people all gathered for one special reason: to celebrate Jenny and Lucas.
The moment we stepped inside we could already feel the joy in the room—the laughter, the chatter and the love that circled in the air. We hurried our way to the change room to stash our dance costumes. We cracked the door of the change room open and there stood Jenny! Calm, radiant, and as organized as ever. She had always been the one in our group who kept everything in line—the fast learner, the quick thinker, the friend who always had your back. And now, here she was in her wedding dress, glowing with happiness, her face free of any trace of nervousness. It was as if she had been ready for this day forever.
The evening unfolded in the most joyful way. We all settled in to play a game—a crossword challenge to see who knew the bride and groom best. It was a fun, lighthearted way to bring everyone together, as we laughed and reminisced, sharing stories and memories of Jenny and Lucas while trying to fill in all the blanks.
Shortly after it was time for the first dance. Jenny and Lucas moved together so effortlessly, it was hard to believe they hadn’t been practicing for years. They looked like professionals, spinning with a grace that had everyone in awe.
After their dance, it was our turn to surprise them. Zornitza had been planning something special—a dance that would honor Jenny and Lucas, one that would bring everyone together, a gift from us to them. The music began, and we moved in unison, the rhythm of Bulgarian folklore filling the space. The energy in the room shifted, and you could see how much it meant to Jenny, how proud she was to share this piece of her world with Lucas and all of us. But we knew we couldn’t let her just sit and watch so our last move was a gesture, inviting Jenny to join us. Watching Jenny step into the circle with us was a beautiful moment, one that felt like the perfect expression of what this day was about— love, friendship, and the coming together of all the people who had supported and loved them through the years.
The night only grew more magical as the music played and the dance party kicked off. We laughed, we danced, we celebrated like we were all part of the same family—because, in a way, we were. The dancing was briefly interrupted by the photo booth that made everyone line up repeatedly to capture the kind of moments that stay with you forever. It felt like time had slowed down just for us, so we could savor the magic of the evening.
