Some love stories unfold quietly, growing stronger with time. Vladislav and Kathryn met as teenagers in Florida, where a simple high school connection became the beginning of something lasting. Through college, first jobs, and new cities, they remained one another’s constant. He pursued a career in medicine, and she built hers in accounting, working with auditing firms. Ten years later, their bond had only deepened, and Vladislav knew the moment had come.


Alina playing Yellow



During their summer trip to the South of France, he envisioned a proposal that would feel honest and unforgettable. For months, we planned every detail together to create something that reflected their story. In the heart of Provence, surrounded by lavender fields, Alina, the violinist, began to play “Yellow” by Coldplay, Kathryn’s favorite song.

And suddenly he asked: Will you marry me?
The moment was intimate and filled with emotion. Just the two of them, the scent of lavender in the air, and the quiet melody of a song that had followed them through the years.
A love that began in high school found its promise in Provence, captured in the golden light of summer and held forever in their hearts.
