Born from Decani but born and raised in the United States, Alban celebrated this important moment with his many family and friends.
He married Ariela Gjonbalaj, born in New York, family-born from Plava in Montenegro. The couple organised a special ceremony attended by over 400 guests, turning this event into a true Albanian festival in the diaspora.


The wedding developed according to Dukagjin traditions, including authentic elements of Albanian culture, from traditional clothing, music to customs inherited from generations.

This wedding is a living testimony that Albanians in America continue to preserve and cultivate their cultural identity. Marriage between Albanians and respect for national traditions remains a strong example of connection with our origin and values.
