Ceca on why Veljko's wedding was rushed
Svetlana Ceca Raznatovic explained for the first time on her show why her son's wedding was put together so quickly, revealing that his bride Bogdana was pregnant and did not want to wait.
- On June 18, 2026, Ceca Raznatovic explained publicly for the first time, on her own show, why her son's wedding was arranged so quickly.
- She revealed that her daughter-in-law Bogdana was pregnant and did not want the ceremony postponed.
- Ceca herself had suggested they wait, since the date fell in the middle of winter.
- The singer wanted to book accordionist Aleksandar Sofronijevic, but his calendar was reserved two years in advance.
Svetlana Ceca Raznatovic spoke on June 18, 2026, about details that had been the subject of speculation for months. On her own show, the singer explained for the first time why the wedding of her son Veljko and his bride Bogdana was organised in such a hurry. The reason, she says, was simple and entirely a family matter.
“My daughter-in-law got pregnant, so the wedding happened right away. I suggested we wait a little, because it was winter, but she didn’t want to because of the bump,” Ceca said on the show. With that, she put an end to talk that the rush had any other explanation.
Veljko and Bogdana are a couple the Serbian public has followed from the start of their relationship. Their romance, engagement and wedding were among the most closely watched showbiz stories of recent times, and every new detail quickly became fodder for comment online. Ceca had previously been reserved about the arrangements, so this was the first time she laid out the thinking behind the timing herself.
Why wasn’t the ceremony postponed?
The singer’s account makes clear the decision was practical rather than impulsive. Ceca said she felt it would be more comfortable to move the ceremony to a warmer part of the year. A winter date brings its own challenges, from logistics to the atmosphere of an outdoor event.
Bogdana, however, saw it differently. The bride-to-be did not want to wait because she was already expecting, so a delay of a few months did not suit her. As the mother of the groom, Ceca respected her daughter-in-law’s wishes, and preparations began straight away.
That explanation fits the picture of a family that makes decisions together. Rather than insisting on her own preference, Ceca left the choice to the young couple and adapted to the new circumstances and the short window for preparation.
Who was meant to play at the wedding?
The quick turnaround brought one problem the showbiz world knows well, namely the availability of performers. Ceca revealed that she had wanted accordionist Aleksandar Sofronijevic, one of the most sought-after musicians on the scene, to play at the wedding.
It turned out that was not possible. Sofronijevic’s calendar for that period had been booked as much as two years in advance, a sign of how busy top musicians are and how far ahead their time is planned. The singer told the anecdote without any bitterness, more as an illustration of how a rushed schedule can complicate even seemingly simple things.
In the end, what the public spent months treating as a mystery came down to a very ordinary situation, a pregnant bride and a family that adapted to her wishes. And if you were in Ceca’s position, would you have insisted on your own plan or let the young couple decide?
