In our essence, we are pure Latvians - we were born in Latvia, we have always lived here, we love and respect this land, we celebrate these feast of the earth, we enjoy its benefits, and this is definitely a place where we want to live in the future as well. And yes, also your wedding we celebrated in Latvia.
But we have fallen in love with Italy since the beginning of our acquaintance. We express our love to it quite often trips to this country and Italian music, which also appears from time to time since the wedding trip to the south of Italy in our everyday life. We know what ie amo and gelato , and pasta is still our favorite food.

Already on June 11, 2020, when we celebrated our 9-year wedding anniversary , we informed our June 11, 2011 wedding guests that we would like to meet them this year. Covid introduced its adjustments and we realized that the coveted party instead of our wedding in an Italian atmosphere (in which we also celebrated our wedding), we will move to other times. But it is clear that this the date we wanted to celebrate -
is more than June 11 for us.

We had an excellent team with us at the wedding, and the video operator surprised us with his performance - he from had created a wonderful video clip accompanied by a beautiful song for small moments captured on the wedding day.
This year life gave us the opportunity to meet an excellent video master and we realized that the best gift we can give ourselves is an unforgettable experience with an Italian flavor (because if it weren't for Covid, this year we would probably visit our beloved Italy), who will be remembered for a long time through the video clip and photos.


The fire offered by nature remained out of the scenario - at At 5:00 in the morning the air temperature was +1 degree, but we were filming quite a summer clip. We couldn't have predicted it in the script, but we ended up with an excellent team, which also became ours the only and main guests, making the day even more special. Also, the frequent changing of clothes was not originally in the script intended, but by implementing it, we gained for this day both a different splendor and new feelings with which to enrich the common mood.

Just like the wedding, we also organized 95% of this event ourselves. In our opinion, preparation for these processes is something the same as special and unrepeatable as the holiday itself. We did not want to steal a single moment from this adventure, challenge and at the time of enjoyment.

The car that the husband found - Alfa Romeo Spyder - gave an excellent atmosphere, and a strong Italian one. All in it throughout the day we listened to Italian music on tape and, just like ice cream, melted from the little things and details that made the day so special and memorable.


Just like after the wedding, also after the wedding anniversary celebration has a feeling - yes, it was exactly what we wanted and enjoyed with all the senses.
We love both Italy and each other even more after this event.
