Nataliya and Greg

I'm thinking about restricting my wedding business to Ukrainian weddings - just kidding. But
there's a lot to love about a Ukrainian wedding, even before the perogies. So glad I live in Alberta.

When Nataliya and Greg told me they were having their ceremony at St. Josephat's, I was thrilled.
Here is Natalia, looking like a princess, waiting to go into the Cathedral.
Inside - I can't even begin to describe how beautiful it is.
The details are stunning.
The ceremony was beautiful. They are kneeling on an embroidered rushnyk.
After the Crowning, the Priest led Nataliya and Greg around the tetrapod three times, performing the Dance of Isaiah.
A few details:
Three generations.

Syncing pocket watches - Greg's gift to his best man (and himself).
Princess dress and princess flowers.

The weather was perfect for pictures, and the North Saskatchewan co-operated by being a lovely shade of aqua.
Closer up.
Formals with Nataliya and Greg's best people, Matthew and Melinda.

Natalia and Greg took dancing lessons before their wedding. They'd not practised while Natalia was in a dress, so they danced around the gazebo at Louise McKinney park a few times. Greg cuts a very dashing figure.

A quiet moment before the festivities.

Thank you for inviting me to share your day Nataliya and Greg.
