Seaside civil wedding: Ekaterina & Aleksandr

An elopement during a Mediterranean cruise is a wonderfully romantic choice. Our charming couple, Aleksandr and Ekaterina (Sasha and Katya), chose the picturesque coastal town of Portovenere on the Ligurian Riviera for their civil marriage. A grand celebration with family and friends awaited them back home upon their return.

They say that when a match is made in heaven, the skies offer a sign. The morning began with rain, but naturally, true happiness cannot be dampened by passing storms. Endlessly in love and radiating positivity, the couple did not let the morning showers and gathering clouds spoil their spirits for a single moment. And the deeply romantic town of Portovenere swiftly captured their hearts.

Just as the ceremony was about to begin, the dark clouds scattered in seconds, giving way to brilliant sunshine and blue skies that bathed everything in vibrant, springtime colour. The ceremony itself was incredibly touching—rich with emotion and unforgettable moments. It felt as though nature itself had gifted Sasha and Katya a wonderful surprise, allowing their special day to unfold under perfectly clear skies. In Italy, there is a saying: “Sposa bagnata, sposa fortunata” (a wet bride is a lucky bride). We are certain that Sasha and Katya will cherish their happiness and luck for a lifetime.
