Our Story
We met in Kyiv back in 2015 through mutual friends. After six years of long distance between London and Kyiv, as well as exploring lots of the world together, we finally decided it was time for a change and moved to incredible Mexico. And here we are, happier than ever, ready for the next chapter.
But things have changed. Now there are three of us. Our son, Alexander, joined us in 2022, keeping us on our toes and making sure life is never boring.
This year marks a decade of us being together! And what better way to celebrate than by gathering all the people we love in one place?

Weather
- Predicting the weather is always difficult, but this area of Mexico is generally hot during the day (reaching around 30 degrees celsius) and remaining warm at night (around 20 degrees celsius).
For before and after the wedding, we recommend packing light and cool clothing.
Adults Only
We absolutely adore children, but for this special occasion, we want you to take the opportunity to relax, let loose, and fully immerse yourself in the celebration without any distractions.
