What once began as a chance encounter in a dance hall many years ago has evolved into a heartwarming tale of love and togetherness. Lachlan and Katryna, two individuals brought together by their shared passion for dance and their time at Cheremosh, are now starting a new journey together as husband and wife.
Their story starts with two young souls, eager to explore the world of Ukrainian folk dance. With dedication and an insatiable thirst for growth, they found themselves at Cheremosh, a place where dance isn't just an art; it's a way of life. Countless practices, exhilarating performances, and unforgettable tours became the backdrop of their journey.
Amidst the whirlwind of rehearsals and the applause of adoring audiences, Lachlan and Katryna discovered something beautiful brewing beneath the surface. A friendship as strong as their dance moves formed, a connection that couldn't be denied…. those folk costumes are really eye-catching ;)
It was a beautiful autumn day. What originally threatened rain turned into a perfectly cloudy day with just enough warmth to keep everyone comfortable but motivated. The Edmonton River Valley provided a stunning backdrop for their photos. Lachlan and Katryna shared their first looks against this picturesque setting, exchanging smiles and laughter
Lachlan and Katryna decided to have their ceremony at the very place where their love story began – the Cheremosh Ukrainian Dance Studio. Surrounded by the familiar dance floor and the echoes of countless rehearsals, they were joined by many of their friends from their years of dancing.
Their wedding wasn't just about celebrating their love; it was a tribute to the shared experiences, laughter, and support of the friends who had been part of their journey. They wouldn't have had it any other way.
At their reception, Lachlan and Katryna's friends from Cheremosh Ukrainian Dance group honored them in a way that is a cherished tradition among alumni. A spirited dance performance that showcased the vibrant Ukrainian culture they had grown to love and celebrate over the years. This performance, passed down from one generation of dancers to the next, symbolized the enduring connection between Cheremosh alumni.
Congratulations, Katryna and Lachlan! May this next chapter be one of love, laughter, and warm memories.
