So, you got invited!

We hope to see you soon for our very special celebration of love and life.

We are very nervous, but also eager to see you all in the city we love and call our second home.

After four years together, we’re marking a milestone with a celebration filled with laughter, joy, and memories. Surrounded by history, nature, and the people who’ve shaped our journey, we hope you will enjoy the time with us and with the enchanting city.

Don’t expect a classical, fancy, traditional event. We are non-conventional and we took a different path with everything you will experience on July 12th 2025 with us. Nothing grand, nothing too formal - just warmth, happiness, and great company in the city we both love. It’s a time dedicated to all of you, not just for the two of us. So this won’t be just an event - it will be a moment we want to share with the people who made an impact on us and our relationship.

So, come as you are, bring your best smiles, and let’s make this a day to remember!

Did you RSVP via WhatsApp: +1 312 5045 861 yet?

Please do so no later than April 15th so that we can have enough inspiration for you.

Make sure you book your trip to Prague, Czech Republic, airport code PRG. In these strange times we are all going through, we really don’t want you to end up in Prague/TEXAS.
Saturday, July 12th 2025.
Come by 12:30 pm at the latest and ensure you are ready at 1 pm for the government official to kick off the gathering and officiate the ceremony in the garden with the fountain upstairs.
Pállfy gardens (in Czech: Ledeburská zahrada) below the Prague Castle. Exact location on the map: https://maps.app.goo.gl/krzZmTNract46Vw18
Make sure this is where you access our event. Look for a sign SVATBA.

The whole garden complex will be open to you all and you will have a lot of photo ops with us, the city and other fellow participants. We promise, the views are going to be magnificent.
Book any hotel or AirBnBs of your budget and taste. We have booked ourselves to an AirBnB during the week leading to our big day, but we will be staying at the Andaz Prague the night before and after the celebration.
The city is very walkable and we have Uber. You can really pick any downtown location for your stay
Oh, did you click here first? 🏝️
The dress code is BEACH ELEGANT -think linen, flowy fabrics, breezy dresses, straw hats, and comfy sandals. No need for ties or heels, just effortless style that makes you feel great!
As you might guess, we’re total beach bums, and while we won’t be on the sand, we want to bring a little piece of Costa Rica’s relaxed, sun-kissed Pura Vida vibe to our special day. So, dress light, feel free, and come ready to celebrate in comfort!
Any color is welcome and Prague should be warm during summer.

Chance of rain? We don’t know, and we don’t mind much. Rain brings you luck, in our culture.
Pre-Celebration Adventures – Join Us!
Why limit the fun to just one day? If you’d love to explore beyond Prague and meet some of our wonderful international guests before the big celebration, we’ve planned an unforgettable week of adventures—and we’d love for you to come along!
Monday, July 7th
A journey to the magical towns of Telč and Slavonice, where cobblestone streets and colorful Renaissance squares feel like stepping into a fairy tale.
As a special treat, we’ll spend the night at my parents’ summer house in South Bohemia (Peršlák) - a cozy escape in nature for those joining!
Tuesday, July 8th
A day filled with storybook castles and riverside charm, visiting Český Krumlov and the breathtaking Hluboká Castle. We’ll return to Prague in the afternoon.
Wednesday, July 9th
An inspiring trip to Kutná Hora, home to the magnificent St. Barbara’s Church and the eerie-yet-fascinating Bone Chapel in Sedlec—a one-of-a-kind experience. Back in Prague by evening.
Thursday, July 10th
A relaxing optional trip to the charming spa town of Karlovy Vary, where elegant colonnades, mineral springs, and thermal baths set the scene.
NOTE:Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, a very popular European cinema event with celebrities from all around the world, will be in full swing here, and Radim will be in business meetings both Thursday and Friday, so this will be a self-guided adventure with Erick and his parents. If you decide to stay overnight, you may need a hotel.
Friday, July 11th
No big plans—just a relaxed day together in Letná Park, with spontaneous bar and restaurant visits for those who feel like joining. We’ll book a spot closer to the date.
Join us for any or all of the trips! Let us know and we will send you all the details including meeting points and times.
And again, no need for a hotel on Monday night, but a rental car may be needed. If you need a ride, we’ll help pair you with fellow travelers.
Let’s make this celebration more than just one day—let’s turn it into a journey! ✨
No wild party, no open bar—just good company and great food!
After our celebration, we’ll take a scenic 20-minute walk along Prague Castle’s cobblestone paths, passing St. Vitus Cathedral and the President’s residence, before arriving at Lví Dvůr. Plenty of photo ops, too. And don’t worry - your beach elegant footwear can handle it with ease!

Here, starting around 4 PM, we’ll keep the joy going over a feast of medieval flavors, easy music, and plenty of laughter. If you’d rather skip the castle stairs, a tram or Uber will get you there just as easily.
Now, about drinks - we don’t personally consume alcohol and decided not to include it in our plans. But we also know that celebrations look different for everyone, so for those who’d like to raise a glass, the bar will have everything you need (on your own tab).
What matters most to us is that you’re there, enjoying the moment with us!

Since we’re near the Cathedral and the President’s home, we’ll wrap up by midnight—but for those who want to keep the night going, we have an informal plan in the works.
Your presence is the only gift we want! We truly have everything we need, so no gifts, please. But we do have a dream though - building an additional small guest-house in Costa Rica where friends (like you!) can visit, unwind, and create even more memories together.
We’re already planning it, and we’d love to share the 3D renders with you, just ask! If you’d like to be part of making this retreat a reality, any contribution towards the project would mean the world to us.
And don’t worry - we’ll make sure to follow up with a personal invite once it’s ready, regardless of your contribution.

• Group chat:
All our guests use WhatsApp. Once you RSVP your participation, we will add you to our group chat. You will receive a notification on that in the app and you will be able to chat with everyone as well.

• Weather/climate info:
We do have a backup plan on each site for bad weather, but statistically speaking, weather should be sunny and warm
• Language details:
The official part of the ceremony will be held mostly in Czech language with simultaneous translations to Spanish and English. Speeches may be held in any language you wish :)
• Are kids invited?
Apologies, this is an adults event only
• Stairs and accessibility?
There will be some medieval stairs to climb for everyone, but for the handicapped, there will be a shortcut arranged

• Bathrooms, storage?
Yes, we thought of that too

• Parking
We discourage driving to the main celebration due to limited parking in the Castle area. Some public parking areas are available at the after-event location. But why driving when you can walk this beautiful city with us?
Reach Radim or Erick by email or WhatsApp as usual. We will get back to you promptly.
