July was hot time of the summer holidays , which the exiles waiting impatiently to be little çmallur as their homeland . It is also the time of the wedding sounds that delight the soul with music and dancing through our Albanian weddings , which rastisim anywhere in the home but also in the west , where our migrants live and work . It was July 2 this year , a very important historical date national and Arben Donika had set their wedding day and wedding ceremony , which had organized the C asino Grand Hotel in Lucerne , Switzerland .
These two young men were born in Lucerne , Switzerland, and their parents had emigrated 30 years ago in this country , who knew each other as young children playing in the neighborhood and through the sweet sounds of language associated maternal together, not knowing that their fate will be followed up in the moment of marriage , to spend a lifetime together .
Donika and Arben, perform well qualify as a high school in Lucerne , one of the official and the other a profile of a medical profile , these two young men also hired immediately , becoming dependent now without their parents , in a much less so , the burden of their parents become easier , but also more stable . Having never not broken social contacts between them , which were very sincere , why not also extended , when in their hearts the love was born , which strengthened confidence in each other , a way to keep more long life .
Someone says that determines the fate of every one else , but fate determined by the people themselves , who lead their own destiny , because God has enabled us to survive as a people on this planet , which is filled with young and new , who once their fate was not uncommon and enviable , but today we have examples of good and satisfactory , as is the case with many Arben Donika the other , that of pleasing impression , and when it comes for young Albanians , not to say that there are no other cases enviable . The marriage of the couple , is more than a gift of God , not only for young couples , but also for their parents , who feel happy , because this generation can not easily grow between the two countries , between two or more cultures , which does not forget its national traditions , which indicate the identity of a people . First , the marriage of these two young men began to church , where these two young men were krezmuar in the same place , when they were young and are now married in this church , in the presence of guests and in the presence of the priest don Sunrise Qerkini , Roman Catholic missionary in Lucerne .
The arrival of the bride
Bride in ancient times among Albanians in the traditional way in some areas , especially in the highlands , coming with a horse , of course accompanied by krushkave wedding line and , once upon a time later , the bride was the chariot and horse , but not the say that these traditions do not exist today , continuing in this way , which is tremendously impressive though now the time has made himself , with a standard more favorable to mankind .
In Donika wedding and Arben, this tradition is acceptable, the bride come with horse cart as ancient tradition , going from church to the restaurant at a distance of two or three kilometers , in the beautiful city of Lucerne , where in the eyes of foreign citizens in the country , leaving very good impression , both not much different from country weddings to Switzerland in this way by the locals .
In the wedding shop in Lucerne Casino , which was filled with flowers and wedding decorations Albanian nature , hear music and traditional dancing , with well-known Albanian singer Nikëprelaj Nicholas , who accompanied wedding and filled with tear-jerking emotion with his wonderful songs , by mëngjeit hours .
An important part of the ceremony were photos and outdoor cameras , along with the new couple , where partygoers had the opportunity along with the couple 's new exhibit Lake Lucerne , where the majority of Albanians organize other ceremonies , due to sights of this beautiful country and tourism . Two pairs of friends together , and Arben Donika guests , spent beautiful moments in a wedding can be said that it was not just to pass a common ceremony , but a wedding to impress rare , moving steps of Albanian traces of our traditions , especially the national dress , songs and dances and other impressions of our tradition , we covet and the others , where Albanians where they are, are taking away their rites and traditions , while convey these to the younger generation in exile .
It was a fun experience and joyful emotions of an Albanian wedding where the youth gave a wonderful sweet and charming impression , especially when the bride and groom escorted the dance , followed by the young , Dominic , Donati , Venus, Marigona , Kreshniku ​​, Emanuella , Joseph , Maggie , approach , Astriti , Agron, Vlora , Nikolina , Lindita others who do what you are proud , not forgetting that come from human and shows its pride that it is the man on the homeland its language, its culture and national traditions , given that this young being born and growing in another country with another culture and tradition .
We must not say that youth should not fit with the culture and traditions of the country where they live and act , or not to integrate into the country , but it shows a good example of Muslim youth to their culture and traditions , and at the same time respecting of another culture , as it is also Swiss , German , American or other Western culture , with Whereby the ceremony had many friends and friends of different nationalities , Friends of the youth , who danced to its own traditions , but why not valle .
Albanian diaspora and the preservation of traditions
Albanian diaspora are those who have contributed to the preservation of national traditions . Tradition is not just singing, or dancing slip , but there are many other ways that have stimulated and interpreted without stopping identity of a people and its culture , no matter where they are located , or in what circumstances live . Fortunately , most Albanians that live in the Diaspora , have been fortunate to meet people with genuine culture and human scale , such as Germany , Switzerland , Austria , Belgium , Norway , the U.S. , the other of which we should be grateful , because they have not neglected the respect of other peoples cultures , instead of leaving space to others , in this case the Albanians , and to express their culture , where they live and work .

Our Tradition is when our children born in or out west to his homeland , besides integration where they live , speak and teach in Albanian families of Albanian organized in a school , teaching history and national culture . Therefore , today the Albanian wide space inside and outside the country , with hundreds and thousands occur Albanian weddings , where all these weddings Albanian art unfolds and our national culture . In these ceremonies unite Albanians , which brings song , joy and harmony , but also love for the homeland , where love and its absence on is great . ( Albinfo.ch )
