Magda wearing the wreath she braided, and Piotr found in the sea!
Before I begin I have to tell you, this is a true to life story!
On the night of Saint John's festivity many traditions remain. In Puerto Rico, they believe that going backwards into the sea, at midnight, will bring them luck. In Catalonia they celebrate with fireworks and a delicious sweet brioche with candied fruits, champagne, and a night of dancing and partying with friends and family... In Poland, a maiden braids a wreath and throws it into the sea, or a river. The man who finds it will marry her.
As it happens to be, Magda and Piotr were in Lloret the night of Saint John's. Magda braided the wreath, as it is the tradition in their homeland, Poland. She thew the wreath into the Mediterranean that same night, on the 23rd. of June.
Two days later, Magda, Piotr, Dave and myself went for a day in the gardens of Santa Clotilde, and later descended to Sa Boadella beach. As we were enjoying the first day of summer here... cause summer has taken its time to come this year... we went for a swim, played around in the water, sunbathed letting our bodies dry with the warm embrace of the sun... and as we were almost ready to leave the beach, Magda and Piotr decided for a last splash in the water.
What happened next was nothing less than one of those serendipitous, unbelievably puzzling, cosmic exploding things! Piotr found, floating on the sea, the wreath Magda had braided two days earlier!!!!
What are the odds on something like that happening???? I don't know much about statistics, but my guess is: Astronomical! One in a trillion! To say the least.
So, I guess they are definitely made for each other! Since, according to their tradition, Piotr will now marry Magda. Who already is, his one and only love!
