Wedding memories

Tomorrow is our 10-year aniversary! Here are some pix of the big day.

We got married in Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine- Andrey's home town. We were both 19. We had family & friends there. My mom was able to come from Norway to be there during our wedding.

We first got married at the marriage office, then went around town to parks & monuments for pix, & then for the wedding celebration at a "turbaza" (rest place) out of town. We had a traditional Ukrainian wedding, with a "tamadan" (wedding organizers who conduct the activities & traditions).. all our family & friends stayed overnight at the "turbaza" & left around noon the next day.
