When Cameron moved to Arizona seven years ago he didn’t know anybody. Shortly after arriving, he met Jelena in school and the couple has been dating ever since. The couple married May 2, 2015.
For her grand entrance, Jelena wore a Galina Signature wedding gown from David’s Bridal. The dress featured beaded detailing to the hip before finishing in a ruffled mermaid flair. Her hair was worn in a partial up-do with a cathedral length veil with beaded edging. By her side throughout the day was her maid of honor, and sister, in a gold gown while her bridesmaid wore red. To match the bridesmaids, Cameron’s best man wore a gold vest and tie while his groomsman wore a red vest and tie. Cameron chose a dark grey tuxedo with piping, a white shirt, vest and tie and a red rose in his lapel for his wedding day.
As part of the ceremony the couple performed a wine ceremony where they tucked a bottle of wine and personalized letters to one another to be opened on their anniversary in a wooden box. They also presented their mothers with red roses during the ceremony.
After the ceremony came the reception with touching speeches, including one by the best man, who said, “What is love? Two people willing to do anything in the world to be a better person for each other.” Love and congratulations were offered to the couple.
The first dance was to Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton followed by the father & daughter dance and the mother & Son dance to Saturday in the Park by Chicago. For guests, a special anniversary dance was arranged with The Way You Look Tonight by Frank Sinatra playing. After the first dances of the night, traditional Russian/European music played throughout the night. Favors were red boxes tied with white and gold ribbon and filled with goodies.
When dinner was finished, cake was served. The couple’s wedding cake was a three-tier affair with the top two tiers covered in white fondant and silver gumpasted pearls and wrapped with crystal ribbon. The bottom tier showcased red scalloped buttercream frosting. On top of the cake fresh red roses were arranged. To top off the sweetness of the day, each table was served Russian/European desserts.
Congratulations Jelena and Cameron. May you both continue to appreciate and love one another with all your hearts. We wish you the best.
