Anastasia and Roman: In Sneakers Around Rome

– What wedding traditions do you think are cool? – we asked Anastasia and Roman during the wedding planning phase.

– Ring exchange! – they confidently replied.

– And which ones do you not like?

– All the others!

Definitely, we were in for a very unconventional wedding!

No more designer floor-length dresses, long veils, and 10-centimeter heels! Getting married in a tutu and sneakers – this is definitely a dream for more girls than commonly believed.

Aperol for breakfast? It’s time to introduce new rock ‘n’ roll traditions! No more boring ransom or bride-napping!

For their romantic getaway, the couple chose the Radisson Collection Hotel, Antica Roma, located close to all the major attractions. But the hotel’s main feature is its rooftop with a stunning view, where we had their photo session.

Then, there was a trip to Tivoli, a ceremony at the town hall, where, in addition to Signor Giovanni, we had a guitarist waiting for us! Here, Anastasia and Roman exchanged unconventional wedding rings (Roman’s had the Pantheon dome on it!) and danced to the guitar accompaniment.

Once the pleasant formalities were over, we returned to the heart of the Eternal City. Anastasia and Roman were so natural and in tune with each other that they didn’t need to be asked to pose! The photographer simply had to capture the happy moments through the lens of their Canon.

The newlyweds simply walked around, drank prosecco, joked, kissed, ate gelato, and enjoyed every second of this day spent among the Great Beauty.

This cocktail of lightness, freedom from conventions, drive, youth, and love simmered in Rome on May 28, 2024.

The wedding day concluded with a rooftop dinner with panoramic views at the Settimo restaurant.

After returning from their honeymoon in Europe, Anastasia posted on her Instagram:

“For the most magical day of our lives without loaves and doves, thank you @wowitaly_events!”
