GALICNIK, Macedonia (Reuters) - Zlatko Dimovski started his wedding day the traditional way - a walk to a graveyard in the Macedonian village of Galicnik to talk to the dead and invite them to the ceremony.

He then got shaved and marched through the streets with a group of his friends to call on his future wife, Tanja Lepcenska.
