Shrovetide marriage to a pine tree
The borovo gostüvanje or pine wedding is a characteristic Shrovetide event of the Prekmurje region. The symbolic marriage to a pine tree involves both a wedding and carnival masks. At first the borovo gostüvanje took place only in villages where no marriages were taking place during Shrovetide.
