Vinnytsia - McKean wedding

The long anticipated wedding of Sam and Anna, the new Mr and Mrs McKean!
Early in the morning we made our way to meet some other guests at another hotel in Kiev and catch our bus to Vinnytsia.
Once we arrived we had a couple of hours to check in to our hotel, do some last minute present wrapping, get showered and dressed up and climb back into the bus to be whisked off to the venue for the ceremony. The ceremony took place in a beautiful spot next to a river and included the first of many Ukrainian wedding traditions which made it really fun and interesting to be a part of.
Now that the happy couple were officially married we all moved on to the reception which was in another really nice location with a giant windmill and a lake behind. During the evening we had more delicious food than we could ever hope to eat, more vodka than we could ever drink (despite our best efforts) and enjoyed all the speeches, weird traditions, and dancing to the Ukrainian polka style band. It was a fantastic night and a brilliant experience.Read more
