Lilia and Vladislav: Happiness in Every Moment at Lake Como

Who said that you can’t meet your destiny on dating websites? Lilia and Vladislav met on Tinder in Kyiv just over a year ago and soon realized that it was love.

Vladislav proposed to Lilia on the white-blue sunny island of Santorini, and they decided to have their wedding in Italy, at Lake Como.

The couple had already been to Como and had fallen deeply in love with the incredible landscapes of one of Italy’s most beautiful lakes. For their symbolic ceremony, Lilia and Vladislav chose Villa Armonia, a family villa from the 19th century that combines architectural beauty and stunning views of Lake Como with modern service and comfort.

By the way, the villa is also beloved by Italian celebrities such as Adriano Celentano and Al Bano, who visit for the atmosphere and, of course, the top-notch cuisine.

The couple’s main desire was to organize a celebration for themselves and their loved ones, to share the joy and celebrate their love. The last few years have shown us that life and love should be lived in the present because no one knows what tomorrow will bring. Therefore, no distances or circumstances could be an obstacle – guests flew to Lilia and Vladislav’s wedding from all over the world.

The bride was very meticulous in planning the event; she had a clear vision of how it should be, so working with her was incredibly easy and pleasant! For the wedding, Lilia prepared two different wedding dresses and knew exactly what she wanted for the ceremony under Beyoncé’s “Halo,” with petals being thrown to “Everything I Do” by Bryan Adams.

The wedding took place on a huge terrace overlooking the lake. The arch draped with white flowers, the handsome groom and the dazzling bride, like Hollywood actors, with a luxurious landscape as the backdrop – everything was like a love movie!

After the ceremony, the newlyweds went for a boat ride photo session on the lake, while the guests went to a buffet where they were in for a surprise – a gender party! Friends and relatives of the newlyweds were divided into two teams – “for the boy” and “for the girl.” And when Lilia and Vladislav returned, we told them that we had managed to bribe the doctor and now knew the sex of their future child. The secret was revealed when a popper shot up, sending a million pink confetti into the air – it’s a girl! At that moment, the groom’s happiness knew no bounds!

The wedding dinner took place in the luxurious interiors of the villa, in a hall with panoramic windows overlooking the evening Como. During the dinner, guests were invited to participate in a wedding quiz. The newlyweds had prepared a whole list of questions, and answering them was not that easy! For each correct answer, guests received a sweet prize – famous Italian Baci candies.

But the surprises didn’t end there! Lilia prepared an incredible dance for her beloved, which she performed immediately after the newlyweds’ first dance. After that, everyone started dancing to the lively Macarena!
