We were married in the Lviv’s Museum of Folk Architecture, in wooden church of 18 century. This is Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church of Wisdom Divine. When Ron and me met each other in August, 2006 in Lviv, we visited this museum. It was second day of our dating. And after our decision to get marriage we chose this Lviv’s Church, because this museum and church are very special for us. Ron’s ancestors from the Carpathian region, where this Church come from. Besides, we had a very good time in this museum when we met in 2006. The Priest Ihnatij (he gave us a marriage) said me a couple months before the ceremony, “Of course, I will give you a marriage. But do you really want to go here from Ternopil? To spent two and half hours by bus just for one way from Ternopil to Lviv? Besides, do you know that sometimes we have a problems with electricity inside of Church, so, if the light randomly gone, what your cameraman will do?”. “Dear Priest, I don’t think that Ronnie’s grandmother and grandfather had the electricity in similar Church, when they got marriage in 19 century. I just want to say that my fiance and me wish to touch a little bit to atmosphere of these old times, to feel a romanticism of these times, and to give these romantic mood to our guests”, I explained. “OK, so say to your cameraman to take an additional light for the taking video. And God bless!”, the Pastor answered.
Well, we had enough of light in our souls, in the day of our wedding. But cameraman took a light for taking video, of course. Just weather in August, 4 was not very light, it was a rain almost all the day. It is not bad, because in accordance with Ukrainian traditions, if bride and groom has a rain in the wedding day, they will have a rich life together. “The rain on the wedding it is sign of money”, Ukrainians says. OK, we hope so!
