On May 18, 2018, Alexander and Anna woke up early. No, not because they were nervous, but because a sunrise photoshoot, when the main attractions of Rome belong only to you, is real magic!

 

 

Walking around the city together, enjoying the gentle rays of the rising sun, receiving congratulations from passersby and smiling, smiling, smiling…

 

 

The official marriage registration of Anna and Alexander took place in an 18th-century hall with unique original frescoes and, as is customary, with Italian hospitality.

In Italy, there is no strict schedule; here, no one rushes anyone, and nobody looks over your shoulder – all ceremonies are held without haste and with great tenderness.

For example, the registrar will definitely tell you the history of the city, ask about your mood and feelings, will not forget to give you a warm smile, and will read touching poems about a strong family and love, which will give you goosebumps.

A wedding for two is great because you can arrange a true celebration, with the most picturesque corners of Italy as the backdrop. Anna and Alexander combined great Rome with the small, beautiful town of Tivoli (whose famous villas are protected by UNESCO). The festive dinner for the newlyweds took place in a 300-year-old restaurant, once visited by emperors and kings. Afterward, Anna and Alexander relaxed and enjoyed the sunset at the most beautiful panoramic spot in Rome.

 

 

Italians said WoW because…

Alexander and Anna even managed to touch the seemingly very strict Señor Giovanni! They prepared unique souvenirs with the emblem of the 2018 World Cup, which was hosted by Russia, and treated him to exotic drinks – Baikal soda and Tarkhuna.

This time, we raised our glasses to the happy couple not only with traditional Italian prosecco but also with a drink strange to Italians, but very delicious, originating from the USSR.

 

 

It was also incredibly touching to receive fruit bouquets for our charming bride Anna and the wedding organizer Marina. Such a warm and delicious greeting came from Alexander’s sister Yulia and her husband Vitaly, whose wedding we celebrated in Rome on September 5, 2017.

Dear Anna and Alexander, we wholeheartedly congratulate you and wish that your love grows stronger every day, just like good Italian wine that only gets better with each passing year!
