This month was crazy, sad, happy, intensive and overloaded with events at the same time. We continued to do everything we have done before: study, work, train, teach, develop our business and website, but at the same time we materialized probably one of the most important AJ projects. Some its results were: Anastasia became Neuner and Jonas visited tropical ocean for the first time in his life. But let us start from the beginning.
1,5 years ago on the 14th of February we were engaged and started to plan the ceremony. Anastasia got German citizenship 4 years ago, but as she was born in Russia, there were several documents she needed to acquire from Saint-Petersburg. And some more documents. And some more... Anyway, as we have got all of them in July, Standesamt told, they cannot marry us with Anastasia's second name, because the letter combination does not exist in German language! Exactly the combination, that stood 4 years in Anastasia's German ID card and passport... We did not know if we marry until four days before the marriage day. The only thing which changed the game, was an advice of one of our dance students. She suggested to call to the second highest instance and that worked. We even could organise the initially planned ceremony slot! )
Two days after we departed to our honey moon destination. Dream of all young couples, Maldives in the Indian Ocean waited for us. Here we experienced some more issues, for example, the first pair of our tickets was cancelled because of corona pandemy. This coursed an E-mail exchange with hotel, with Aeroflot, with new flight company Qatar Airways... However, we managed it! We spent wonderful 8 days in a water villa, enjoying coral reefs at a day time, diverse world kitchen in the evening and the star sky from the terrase at night under the wave song. We will never forget it. We have made hundreds of photoes and videos. We swam with sharks, mantas, coral reef fish and sea turtle, we grilled king's pawns and chased white crabs, we had an amazing honey moon program presented by our hotel and were surprised to find a colony of bats who ate tree leaves.
In this month, we laughed, cried, hoped and were surprised or disappointed so strong as never before. A lot of you shared this time and supported us on this way and that is increadibly precious for us. We are looking forward to many more years of our friendship and collaboration, now as a married couple Anastasia Viktoria and Jonas Neuner :).
