Allyssa and Razvan's wedding was special to me for several reasons. First of all they are dear friends we made in Romania, and come to find out Razvan is basically Elvis' extended cousin! It's a small world. In addition, they are going to be a cross cultural couple, exactly like us since Razvan is Romanian and Allyssa is American. Except they met in Romania, while we met in the states. I took their engagement photos in Romania this past summer and we had a blast so I knew that their DIY wedding on Allyssa's family's 6 generational farm was going to be special. And it was. They both gave their personal vows to each other in the others' native language. And I could hardly keep back tears listening to Allyssa proclaim her loyalty and lifelong love in Romanian to Razvan. This wedding day was so right for them both, unassuming while lacking in no detail, and completely genuine. They had made yard games for the guests and had an afghan station for when the October evening turned chilly. It was absolutely perfect and one of my most memorable weddings to date. Allyssa and Razvan, te iubim si multumesc lui Dumnezeu pentru voi si prietenia noastra. Dumnezeu sa binecuvinteze noua ta familia si sa ne revedem in Romania! <3
