Uros Knezevic, Wedding portrait of Mileva Naumovic; The Principality of Serbia, Kragujevac, 1852; oil on canvas; courtesy of the Collection Secerovic Conic – House of Jevrem Grujic, Belgrade (Photo source: JelenaKalicanin.com)  Before “white” became a popular option, brides had been dressed in the height of current fashion, with the richest materials money could buy. The wedding portrait of Mileva Naumovic, a wife of the cavalry colonel Jovan Naumovic, shows how Serbian traditional urban dress, with the addition of a white veil and bridal wreath, became an appropriate wedding gear in 1852.

what’s the psychology behind losing feelings towards someone you liked intensely once you realized they felt the same way back?

A handwritten note, scrawled in Arabic on a torn cigarette pack, was discovered on the ground last week in Pozzallo as migrants filed off a ship. It was from someone initialed “A” to someone else initialed “R.”

“I wanted to be with you,” read the note. “Don’t you dare forget me. I love you very much. My wish is for you not to forget me. Be well my love. A loves R. I love you.”
