Our Wedding

<p>We met in a way that felt entirely unexpected. Neither of us were looking for a relationship, and yet a chance moment brought us together: a friend of Angelina’s playfully messaged Aleksander on a dating app on her behalf, saying her friend thought he was cute. Aleksander replied almost immediately. That spontaneous exchange led to long conversations, a first date, and the steady, joyful partnership we celebrate today.</p>

<p>As a courtesy to our wedding party, please avoid wearing solid colors such as burgundy (red wine), rust, light pinks, and sage green—these are the colors selected for our bridesmaids, groomsmen, maid of honor, best man, and MOB. Our ceremony is on September 18, 2027. We’re asking for Black Tie (optional) or tasteful semi-formal attire suited to a late-summer/early-fall celebration; darker neutrals and jewel tones work especially well with our simple, rustic vibe. If you prefer not to wear full Black Tie, please choose something comfortable that still feels special—dresses, suits, or dressy separates are all welcome. Thank you for helping us look and feel cohesive on our day.</p>
