Wedding of Elizabeth and Anatoly. Dolce Vita Forever

Time for wedding preparation in Italy: 6 months

From the very beginning, Elizabeth and Anatoly wanted their wedding to take place in the country of art and love, Italy. They even tried to organize their most important day on their own, but faced many problems. It’s amusing, of course, but Italians still think that all Russians are oligarchs!:) For your requests, they will offer the most expensive and luxurious options. Yes, indeed, it requires a special approach, the right words, and preferably in Italian.

The couple also tried to plan their wedding in Italy through a Moscow agency, but they realized that organizing a wedding in Italy directly, without intermediaries, was the most optimal and comfortable option.

Elizabeth and Anatoly arranged a true Roman holiday for themselves, their parents, and close friends. They rented a large apartment with a terrace and panoramic views of the Castel Sant’Angelo and the Vatican, relaxed on the beach near Rome, and even swam in the sea in October! In general, it was a real dolce vita in a family circle before the most important and best day.

Wedding Day

On October 10, 2018, as if on order, it was very sunny and warm, a comfortable +24 degrees. The sound of the bells heralding the departure with the father to the registry office, the anxious anticipation, and the official wedding ceremony in the 18th-century hall. Smiles of friends and tears of happiness from the parents…

Then there was a photo walk for the newlyweds and a mini-excursion for the guests in the small cozy green town of Tivoli. Tivoli is the city of fountains and luxurious imperial villas, a city beautifully located on a hill among olive trees. It is a city that can be clearly seen even from the Pope’s apartments.

There was also a lunch with a view of the waterfalls and the Temple of Sibyl from the 2nd century BC. It was a heartfelt celebration in their new status and a rest before the walk, photoshoot, and the quest-excursion in the Eternal City.

Elizabeth and Anatoly were immediately excited about the idea of organizing an exciting quest in Rome for their guests. While the couple was walking through the city with the photographer, the guests, divided into two teams, solved riddles about Rome, discovered secret places, and learned the history of the city in an unusual, engaging format.

Guests received surprise gifts not only at the end of the quest but also in the panoramic restaurant with a view of the Eternal City. Here, Elizabeth and Anatoly were waiting for them with their first dance as husband and wife, glasses of champagne, and a magnificent dinner with a view of St. Peter’s Basilica and n number of delicious Italian dishes:)

This day was very warm, but not only because of the thermometer readings. It was warm because such loving close people were around, because the bride and groom enjoyed every second with each other and the beauty of the Eternal City. This day, the wedding day of Elizabeth and Anatoly, was full of smiles, lightness, kindness, and sincerity. Here’s what Elizabeth herself writes about this day:

Marina, good morning! We’re finally alone and realized what a miracle has happened to us!

Thank you so much for helping to create such a wonderful celebration. Everything was really perfect, like in fairy tales and dreams: tender and romantic, yet clearly planned.

Please send my big thanks to Inna, Ruslana, Yana – I thought I was such a picky person, but they did everything perfectly. And to the girls who organized the quest – the guests were simply thrilled! This really was a day to remember for a lifetime, and we want to replay it endlessly in our memories❤ thank you for your help, without you, nothing would have worked out.

Thank you so much, Elizabeth and Anatoly, for your trust! May your love grow stronger every day, just like good Italian wine improves with time!
