or Litha on the Celtic Calendar, is one of the four solar festivals (quarter days) that fall within the Wheel of the Year in the annual cycle of seasons. And while it marks the astronomical beginning of summer on the Gregorian Calendar, people in Scandinavian countries such as Sweden, Norway, Finland, and a few other parts of the world celebrate “Midsummer” on the solstice.

Romanians celebrate 'Sânzienele' or 'Drǎgaica' on this day. Sânzienele are fantastic beings, good fairies of unprecedented beauty, who fully manifest their magical powers only on this night. They are descending from the clouds of the clear June sky on earth, to sing and dance in full celebration. In many parts of the country, on the day of the 'Sânziene',  there are festivals in which girls and boys dance, sing, party, and worship these little creatures of good that will help them in life and love.

Since ancient times, Summer Solstice traditions have included gathering with family and friends to celebrate the return of sunlight, love, life, and a good harvest.
 
And today, we're inviting you to celebrate with us.

Forget everything you know or expect about weddings, we are not doing traditional here. Come with an open mind, and an open heart, and let yourself immersed into an experience of light, music, magic, and colours, on the beach.

Costa da Caparica is our home. It's where we feel the fullest, the liveliest and the happiest. It's also where we met. So it was the obvious choice of place to celebrate with you, right on the shores of the Atlantic.

We have booked a fantastic venue, at Praia Princesa, to celebrate the sun, sea, love and sand, and this will host us for the evening from 5pm until 3am; we have DJs playing banging tunes and food and drinks to keep us going through the night.
