Once a part of the traditional wedding ceremony, the custom of inviting to wedding is still kept alive in Slovenia’s north-easternmost region of Prekmurje. The person performing the custom is called pozvačin – on the bride and groom’s request he visits their relatives, neighbours, friends and acquaintances to invite them to the wedding. The highlight of this ceremony is his humorous invitation speech.
The bearer of the element of the intangible cultural heritage is (1):
1. Franc Jerebic.
