Hi there. Just wanting to thank you for your website. I am a 2nd generation Greek Australian and am getting married in July this year. Although my yia yia has demanded most of the traditions mentioned on this blog, i had no idea what they meant and why we were doing them. So i wanted to take the time out to let you know that all your efforts are appreciated.

hi – i think it kind of means – there you go! that’s something special! look at this/that! – said while dancing or after smashing a plate or even as your lifting you baby in the air in play!

hi – wondering whether or not you might know- what’s a para koumbaro?-we’re in a situation where our proposed koumbara cannot perform the role of christening our child because, although she was christened in a greek orthodox church, she was not married in one- can she kind of be a para koumbara – if so – how does that work?
