Our story

Eliška Petříková

As a little girl, she dreamed of becoming a pianist and later a Japanologist. However, fate eventually led her to Prague to study botany, where she also met Martin for the first time. Besides experimenting with plants in the lab, she loves singing, playing the piano, and indulging in an unreasonable amount of anime and Korean dramas.

Martin Trávníček

Martin initially wanted to become a chemist. However, after burning a hole in his parents’ lawn with his vinegar volcano in high school, his path twisted toward biology. While studying in Prague, he became completely captivated by virology. In his free time, he passionately pursues graphic design and 3D printing. Among his talents is pushing the limits of the lethal dose of caffeine in the bloodstream. And it was Eliška who invited him for the most important cup of instant coffee of his life during exam season.

What about coffee?

The whole story could not have started in any other way than with coffee. Martin was studying for an immunology exam, and Eliška, who lived just two floors above him in the dorm, was handing him prepared model questions. After a long conversation by the door, they both concluded that the best solution to every problem could always be found with a cup of coffee (back then, still instant).

A date that wasn’t a date

As the exam period was slowly coming to an end, Martin and Eliška's coffee breaks became more and more frequent. One day, they were hit with an intense craving for sushi, so they headed to the city center for a lunch together. After sushi, they went for a walk and had a long conversation (by coincidence) in the most romantic part of Prague. A "non-date" that ended up being the best date ever. A few days later, they were officially a couple.

Me, you and Chimney

The whole world was consumed by the COVID pandemic, but every day we enjoyed a lot of fun with Chimney, our little furry troublemaker.

A botanist and a virologist

After a summer marathon of writing our theses in the same room, we finally saw the light of day, submitted, and defended. The PhD will be a piece of cake! Haha ha ha...

Moving into the apartment

We’re finally moving into our new apartment! Well, not quite yet. While shopping at Ikea, we got an SMS with our results—both COVID-positive. Instead of a housewarming party, we spent another 14 days half-dead in our dorm room, surrounded by boxes and completely reliant on food delivery.

Our engagement

If you think engagements are simple, Martin will give you a two-hour lecture on how he proposed to Eliška.

You can't make science out of anything, not even science, let alone life.

Taking photos

We would love for you to share your photos and videos from the wedding. However, please refrain from taking pictures during the ceremony, as our photographer will capture those special moments.

Reception

We haven't forgotten anyone, so you can look forward to vegetarian, vegan, and other alternative dishes as well.

The greatest gift for us will be seeing you at the wedding and celebrating everything together. If you would still like to give us a gift, we would be happy with any financial contribution towards our honeymoon.
