One of the most unforgettable sunsets we shared at our favorite spot on Santorini island in Greece in September, 2018.

Santorini island, Greece, September, 2018. It really does look like a postcard in real life - one of the most magical places on earth.

Oleg's first time visiting Alaska in March of 2018. Katya's mom, Tatiana, took them to Denali park in the middle of the winter. Walking through deep snow is no easy task.

Our first trip to Baku, Azerbaijan in July, 2019. This beautiful city is where Oleg is from originally.

Santorini, Greece, September, 2018.

This opening in the mountain is shaped like a heart and has earned it's name as The Heart of Santorini. Don't be fooled by our smiles, there is an endless drop behind us - scary!!! (September, 2018).

Our romantic trip to Venice, Italy, September, 2018.

Follow me into the maze (Barcelona, Spain, September, 2018).

Oleg's loving grandmother, who will hopefully be able to video chat into the wedding.

This is Toby, which is short for Tobias, we often call him Tobah. We adopted him from a close friend of ours. Toby is the most beautiful and the sweetest cat on this planet and he knows it!

Oleg organized this llama walk for us one day, which catered to Katya's love for animals (Somewhere in Virginia, November, 2019).

This is Moby, Katya's parents', Richard and Tatiana's baby boy. He will be a guest of honor at the wedding (Fairbanks, Alaska, Tatiana, Moby and Katya, December, 2019).

Oleg's first trip to Alaska was not only about getting to know Katya's parents better, it was very important to meet Moby, whom you will meet at the wedding (Chena Hot Springs, March, 2018).

Anastasiya - beautiful mother of the groom.

One of Oleg's favorite hobbies is drone photography and videography. This was taken at Ski Land, Alaska in March, 2018.

Katya's mom, Tatiana, took Oleg ice climbing when he came to visit Fairbanks.

Can more than one place be deemed the "City of Love" - we'd say yes.
