Recipe blog and books Snacking author Zane Grėviņa (ex Ozoliņa) married her beloved man last summer Arthur.

I believe that a wedding is not a performance to be presented to others

She admits that it is much more important than what dress to wear, what flowers to choose and other organizational issues, she had a desire to marry her beloved. That's why both approach the wedding organization was as simple as possible and did not require unnecessary worries.

What to wear is decided on the wedding day in the morning

Even before starting to plan their wedding day, Zane and Arthur knew that on this day they would want involve only close and known people, thus doing without the services of a wedding organizer, manager and others providers. Zane admits that until a relatively short time before the wedding, she did not know what to wear on the wedding day. She revealed her concerns to the matron, who found her a seamstress who sewed both a skirt and a veil for her.

"Although I had a very beautiful skirt and veil made, I had another dress variant that I already ordered from ASOS . On the night before the wedding, while still laughing, I told my girlfriend that I don't know, what to wear tomorrow And so it was - on the morning of the wedding, while hanging out with my family and girlfriends, I asked them who I was wearing and shoes to wear, and so I did. I realized that I feel good in both outfits, and after all, they are just clothes for what has nothing to do with how happy I felt on my wedding day," admits Zane.

Without clichés and unnecessary worries

Zane and Arthur kept calm even in various non-standard situations that happened before for a wedding or even on the wedding day itself. For example, a couple of days before the wedding, their child got seriously ill meant they would not be able to attend the special event. Although, as Zane admits, there was a brief moment of trepidation about what to do now? However, the solution came just as quickly and imperceptibly - Zane's godparents, who are for Zane and Artūrs always been a good role model in relationships. They took over the baton and happily agreed to be the couple's conductors.

On the other hand, on the wedding day itself, shortly before the wedding ceremony in the church where the couple got married, a mentally unbalanced and unknown woman entered, shouting and behaving inappropriately. Zane admits that when she found out, she laughed because she thought it could only happen in the cinema.

"I must admit that I have never been one of those girls who, from an early age, dreamed of for your wedding. I have never liked clichés in this or any other area of life. I still believe that there is no wedding a performance to be given to others, but a wedding is a process to be experienced by both of you together. My husband and I have different opinions on this matter completely agree, that's why we built our wedding on the emotional basis of what we experienced before.

A year before the wedding, we were both in the band Instrumenti concert , and that for us both of them had such a beautiful emotional experience together. Both, being adults, almost the entire concert from we cried with emotion. Then, when Instrumenti announced their big concert at the Daugava Stadium last year, both we realized that we want to celebrate our wedding there. This is how the concept of our wedding was completely unexpected and unplanned – get married in the church, but go to a concert with friends and relatives in the evening," says Zane.

Surprise Instruments in concert

Zane and Artūrs' wedding day turned out exactly as they wanted - it was emotional and a heartfelt ceremony in the church with various happy surprise elements. Delicious food and warm company with families and close friends. After the wedding ceremony and emotional end of the evening Instruments at the concert, where the musicians surprised both of them by dedicating one of the group's most emotional songs.

"The climax of our wedding was in the church, the wedding ceremony. Those are our most important moments from wedding days that we will never forget, but also the rest of the day was full of pleasant emotions. It turned out that several of our friends and relatives had tried in various ways to contact the representatives of the group and tell them that we were have chosen to celebrate their wedding celebration at their concert. On the other hand, after the concert Artūras and I did not want to be taken home, but instead walked downtown, discussing the day and seeing all our friends home," so Zane.
