By LJ Herman“Val is from Russia and Heidi is from Norway. They incorporated their heritages into their wedding like no other wedding I have seen before! Their traditions run thick in their families. Not only does that show, but their family is so tight.
The bride and the groom eloped on this day 5 years ago. It was only fitting they renewed their vows and had a wedding. While these two have been through it all already. The stress of venue booking, preparing all the details, making timelines and taking a vow in front of God and everybody, the groom was a ball of nerves. The bride conspired a trick to help out with that.
She had a friend who had an old wedding dress laying around. Heidi thought it would be hilarious to send her brother down in a wedding dress in her place for the first look. ‘Heidi, give me your deodorant, I have to smell like a girl!’ her brother said.
Needless to say…. It worked and the grooms reaction was utterly priceless. Just see for yourself!
Now that the groom had fully been relieved of anything that caused him nervousness, it was then time to actually have his first look with his bride.
While he doubted that it was actually her, he was just as amazed to see his bride.
He was in complete awe of her. Completely and understandably so. She’s flawlessly gorgeous. Wouldn’t you agree?”
