The groom

Hi I am Joost, born in 1982 in Vlissingen. In 2000 I moved to The Hague to study and I also started DJ'ing. The beach was always close by for me. I like to be outside and go kite surfing in big storms or snowboard in big white mountains. I work as an IT consultant in The Hague. I love Formula 1 and the latest tech and gadgets such as drones. I am really looking forward to celebrate with you at our Polish wedding!

Joost

The bride

Hi I am Marta, born in 1988 in a small city in southwest Poland. I moved to The Hague in 2008 and fell in love with this big city. I work as a supervisor and travel to Waddinxveen every day. I like to be outside and enjoy nature while hiking and cycling. I love the Netherlands, but miss my Polish friends, family and nature. I am happy to celebrate our love with you in Poland!

Marta

We are waiting for..... The adventure

Our love story

FIRST MEET
Jul 30 2016
Just a regular Saturday night in the summer of 2016. But who could ever think it would be such an important one for Marta and Joost. While Marta -together with big sis Klaudia and party animal Kinga- were in a party mood, Joost -in company of friend Bart- had the same plan. And so Joost and Marta met each other on the dance floor of beach club De Karavaan.
FIRST YEAR TOGETHER
Jul 30 2017
After a memorable night, Joost was eager to invite Marta to his place for a first date. After a lunch together at the beach, Bart joined them and they watched there first F1 race together. The race came to an end, but Joost and Marta's love story had only just started. The time flew and they celebrated 1 year together soon.
FIRST HIKE
Sep 5 2017
For Joost it was time to go to Poland and Marta introduced him to hiking and the beautiful nature around Zakopane.
FIRST KITE SURF LESSON
May 10 2018
After Joost's introduction to hiking, it was time for Marta to get the feeling of kite surfing. Together they went to Oostvoorne, where they hit the water and Marta had a kite surf lesson.
PROPOSAL
May 29 2019
Days and nights became weeks, weeks became months, and months became years. It was after the landing of an exciting test flight above Texel, that Joost felt it was the right moment to do a proposal to Marta.
ENGAGEMENT
May 29 2019
Without a doubt, the answer was YES, sealed with a big kiss! And so here we are, ready for this new chapter in our lives and looking forward to celebrate the start of it with you!
MARRIAGE
May 29 2019
The formal ceremony in the Netherlands took place in the Old City Hall in The Hague on a beautiful summer day. Surrounded by close family and witnesses it was a great day and a welcome break in times of a pandemic. And the wait could begin until the big wedding party.

We are going to... Celebrate Our Love

Formal marriage

On July 30, 2020, we were legally married in the Netherlands in the Old Town Hall of The Hague. Because of the pandemic this had to be done in a small circle, but the wedding ceremony was still very beautiful. Our friend Nikolaus Macheck captured this beautiful summer day for us in a great way.

Because our wedding party in 2022 will take a while, we would like to give you a small preview of some photos of our wedding day in 2020.

MONEY / Valuta

Zloty (zl, PLN)
1 PLN‚ = 100 groszy (gr)
1 Euro = 4,5 zloty (depending on exchange rate)

coins: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 gr – 1, 2, 5 PLN

geld
Exchange currency:

  • - banks
  • - money exchange offices – are named ‘Kantor’ or ‘Exchange’ and can be oftend found in city centers, stations and airports. Sometimes hotels offer a better echange rate than banks do.


ATMs
Are popular and widely available with the exception of very small towns and villages, usually open 24 hours. There are a few in Złoty Stok.

Bank cards
These are popular and both types of payment are accepted: relief (Visa, Mastercard) and electronic (Visa Electron, Maestro). You can use them in supermarkets, gas stations (all), restaurants, hotels, in many shops and in the big cities in the taxi too. But that is not yet the rule and one must therefore be prepared to pay in cash.
