Our big event

We, Romanians consider that have three most important events in our life's timeline: the baptism after our birth, the wedding when we meet our soul-mate, and the final farewell, our funeral. I don't remember much about my baptism; I think none of us do. But I remember everything that happened on my wedding day. 
Me and Sergiu made all the preparations for this event. It wasn't hard for us, as we already planned his sister's wedding one year before. It took us a while to decide what rings, what flowers, what music etc but we didn't had any doubts about what we wanted.

The wedding hall was also a very easy choice: Medio Monte, my husband's workplace. Most of our weddings happen during night time. We wanted to be during the day, on a Sunday. So, our big date was 3-rd of June 2007. And we chose gold as the main color for our arrangements.

The menu was not sophisticate. I would call it simple, but some people might find Romanian food a complex combination of tastes. We had five courses, plus the cake. 

The only hard thing for me to decide was about my dress. I searched all magazines, internet pages, shows, events, but nothing I saw had that sparkling "something" to drew my attention. Then I decided to visit my mother. At that time she was working in Cuca Rohian's tailor shop. A place where clothes become pieces of art. Together, we made the perfect dress for my wedding day. 

Everything was perfect. 

Our next step was our honeymoon. We decided to have a seaside relaxation holiday far away from home. Greece was our first option for different reasons. First was the accessible price. Second was the wonderful weather for middle of June. We knew that Romanian coastline will not be warm enough at that time of the year. We also thought that  since we never went outside Romania together, a long trip by car, just the two of us will be an adventure never to forget.

We didn't make many pictures unfortunately. We had a video camera, but only after a while, when it was obvious that we were looking more at the pictures than the videos, we have decided to put the video cam away and we started to keep photo camera with us all the time. 
Now, when I look back, even if I don't have many pictures, I know that was the moment when we fall in love with "our" beautiful Greece. 


My life in words and pictures

It is not easy to write all about you. But many people have a desire to share their experiences with others, and don't find the courage to do it. Our technologies permit us to do that so easy, to share our life events almost every minute. I find it extraordinary. And challenging.
I was thinking for days now what to tell you about me. There are so many things that I want everyone to know. Beautiful things. I guess I have to start with the beginning...

 I think my life started when I married my husband, Sergiu. Up until that moment, that was the happiest day of my life. Later I have learned that happiness is something normal in a marriage. 
So, I have decided to share our best moments with you.
