An imagined wedding couple becomes embracing stone figures among petrified guests at Kuklica.
Modern AI interpretation. Faces, dress, figure arrangement and landscape are invented; no exact geological survey or historical wedding reconstructed.
Overview
The municipal tourism catalogue locates Kuklica near Kratovo. In its telling, a young man marries another woman; his disappointed admirer curses the wedding. When the couple kiss, the assembled guests become stone, leaving the newlyweds embracing.
The catalogue separately explains the formations through erosion. The tale gives the landscape a remembered drama; it does not establish petrification as geology or identify actual wedding participants.
