Kristina and Ivan: Tenderness and Romance at Lake Como

Kristina and Ivan were deciding between Crimea, St. Petersburg, and Italy. A long-time dream was about to come true.

The couple shares their story of making their Italian dream come true with the portal weddywood.ru.

I met Ivan at university. We were in the same class and on the same course, but we didn’t pay attention to each other. In our second year, things started to move forward, the first dates and all that. The relationship developed very quickly, and now we’ve been together for 6 years.

I always knew I wanted an intimate wedding, I dreamed of Italy, but it seemed impossible back then. I even thought of incorporating some Italian elements, like decorating everything with branches and lemons instead of flowers.

Ivan proposed on my birthday, and we began planning. We had three options: a wedding in Crimea, a registration in St. Petersburg, or a wedding in Italy. We couldn’t decide for a long time, and Ivan came up with the idea of using a hat and papers with country names. I drew a paper and thought, “Let it be as it should be.” Italy came up, and everything fell into place.

It was very important for me to find responsible professionals. And we immediately chose Wow Italy. I initially didn’t want to organize a celebration for others, just for us two, and I wanted it to be memorable. The preparation started in May-June, and on October 3rd, we were already standing hand in hand at Lake Como. There wasn’t much time, but I’m really thankful to the organizers for their hard work and help. I truly enjoyed the process of preparation and the wedding itself.

The most common question from friends in the days leading up to the wedding was about pre-wedding nerves. And that’s something you shouldn’t ask a bride. The night before, I began to feel nervous and couldn’t eat. But just before the ceremony, I trusted the universe, and the whole wedding went wonderfully.
