Daria and Paul's wedding, part III - reception

And here's the last part of Daria and Paul's amazing English-Russian wedding. The reception and wedding breakfast took place at Thames Rowing Club - the place which is full of character and history making it so charismatic and unforgettable. Well definitely for me as there were plenty of those interesting details I love photographing so much! But the truly unforgettable experience was all the fun and laughs and entertainment everyone had at this unique event!

Karavai - traditional Russian wedding bread


The Bride and Groom bite karavai and whoever gets the biggest piece will be the head of the house
















Bridesmaids are cheering the Bride and Groom to kiss while all the guests are shouting Russian 'gorko' (meaning 'bitter') as they induce the just-wed couple to sweetly kiss and so take away all the bitterness
