I've just got back from SF CA and already posted to Facebook. Shortly, everything has been perfect including weather, arrangements, services, food etc. Andy was on his crutches but it was a kind of special thing on their Big Day. It was a pity Michael and others were unable to come. There were 18 of us at the church and slightly more at the 'Skool' restaurant. Choir was singing very beautifully and the Father Yaroslav Belikov who ran the service was really good and helpful. So have a look at some photos and get the impression...God bless the couple...

It was a risky and dangerous drive to Napa Valley affter Olia's wedding.day We went there on the following day. Just after the Bay Bridge on the freeway to Oakland our car Kia Rio started making a strange and loud noise and becam unmanageable. It was really scary as Olia as a driver was scared too and she could hardly stop the car which was moving 75m/h on the very left emergency spot. Thanks God, the Freeway Patrol arrived in 5 mins after we called 911 as we were unable to get out of the car and find out what happened. Eventually we wery slowly moved to the right side of the highway under patrol of the PoliceCar. It was a completely flat and blown up tire. We had to call the rental office and got a new CHEVI car at the Oakland airport. For this drive we used a small spare tire. After all this ordeal we arrived at Napa Valley at 4pm instead of 12pm. But the place itself turned out to be so gorgeous and welcoming. It's worth visiting not only because of the unique location but a

Hi, Several days have passed since our arrival, but we've just started recovering after the long and tiring flight to LA and the night spent at the hotel as our late (11pm)connection flight to SF was cancelled. So we arrived on the following day and spent the whole day either sleepping and doing nothing. LA airport is not the best one I experienced in America. So we probably will not use it again. Well, Olia and Andy are looking forward to their Big Day and still making arrangements. Although there will be only family and close friends, it is going to be 18 people there. Olia's wedding dress looks gorgeous and Andy is on the crunches but still smiling and positive. We've been around the city and on the beach in the place called the 'Pacific', 22 miles south of SF. The weather is very hot and sunny - about 80F.So we really enjoy it. Brody the dog is in a Pet Camp as Dad suffers from astma so we went to see him there. Love and hugs to all of you...However, from this t

Hey there, Tomorrow we're flying to LA CA USA from Moscow Sheremetievo. Olia&Andy's wedding day is coming so we'll be staying there for 2 weeks around the Big Day. The only downside of the event is that Andy's just undertaken a serious medical surgery after the road accident he got in. God Bless him and all of us let's pray for his speedy recovery and the newlyweds. Late autumn in Moscow is so sunny and gentle...Unlike an awful heatwave that set up for so long in the summer. Weather in SF is going to be good at this time of year. Wish us a good flight to LA and SF, which will last for some 14 hours altogether...
