Life is Beautiful

We got married on 7 April at 4:00. In the morning we went to Bahji to do some photos in the gardens. The weather was not cold and not hot, it was cloudy with little sun rays coming through. It was a gorgeous day and everyone felt happy. Behi was volunteering that day in Bahji Visitor Centre, he was the first one to welcome us there. We walked in the gardens and took a lot of pictures, i wish i could post all of them here! Kiyoko was our photographer for that morning, and she did a great job. My family and Amir's father were very happy to be in the gardens around the Shrine again and to take part in our photosession. After we got satisfied with our photosession in Bahji, we had lunch in the Visitor Centre together with Behi and went to Haifa to take few shots on the Terraces. There were few more Israeli wedding couples taking pictures on Terrace 1, we had a variety of colors and couples, it was fun. Our ceremony started at 4:00 in the afternoon, we had close friends and families saying prayers and doing readings for us after which we said our wedidng vows. After we signed the marriage contracts we finally were legaly married, and our happiness didn't know limits (Russian expression translated by me in English:)). Our friends and family prepared some performances for us during the refreshments part. There was a Kazakh dance performed by my sister Ruzanna, Ukrainian song by our friends Serghei and Liudmila, musical peice performed on mandolin by Bahi and African dance by three gorgeous African girls. We exchanged the rings after cutting the cake which was cooked by Amir's good friend Bernard. It was beuatiful! He made a little cake for our rings too! I don't have pictures of the wedding cake yet, but if i get one, i'll post it here. At the end my father decided to sing a song with me and my sister, the one we learnt together many years ago. It was nice to sing with them again on my wedding day:) We managed not to forget that it was Kara's birthday and sang for her. She got my Bridal bouquet as a birthday gift:):) I will try to post more pictures soon. Life is beautiful...
