Hello Thor,
 Thanks for sharing your special day with all of us! It was interesting to read all the various emotions you went through with your family, your friends, and your bride. It would take much more than a broken zipper to cramp your style! Congratulations, and good luck!

Downstairs we had to wait for about 45 min. While we where waiting we had some champagne, it is a tradition..We saw 2 other couples that went in the get married while we where standing there. All the guests where smiling and happy. I am kind a shy person, and I had been fearing to be in the "spotligth" all day long. But I just felt cool and had the most amazing feeling inside my body, I can really put words on my feelings, it is so special to get married. So finally we went inside the room where the wedding ceremony was taken place....The momendt was there...

The ceremony was lead by a female "priest". She asked us to step forward onto a kind of "blanket" (I don't know the English word for this, but it is smaller than a blanket). This is a Ukrainian tradition. The bride had been buying this "blanket" on the marked before my arrival..By the way, the priest assistant was a very attractive blond girl:))

The priest spoke for about 4-5 minutes. Since I don't speak so much Russian I had to relay on Rena's help when I should answer "DA" on the priest question..When it came to me Rena looked at me and I answered DA loud and clear:)). Just before I answered DA, many memories ran thrue my head. I was thinking about that this is my last 2 minutes as a singel guy:)). But I felt only happiness...I know that many grooms and brides sometimes ask them self if this is the one for them, but at this moment I knew that this girl was the ONE for me. After I answered DA, the blond girl:)) came with the rings and we put on the rings...

After the rings where put on our fingers the priest declared us as husband and wife (at least I think that she said that:)). We then went up to the alter to sign the documents...
