TRAVEL DETAILS
Information for guests
Our story:
What began as a chance encounter in a coffee shop in Shymkent on a hot summer evening grew into an adventure that became our own little world.
Over three beautiful years, we filled it with travels across countries, the gentle purring of our two cats, and countless quiet moments side by side. Now, as we begin our next chapter, we would be honoured to have you share in our joy.

Our celebration will begin with the cherished Kazakh tradition of
Qyz Uzatu-a heartfelt ceremony symbolising a bride's farewell to her family and the beginning of a new chapter.
We will then proceed with a joyful reception to celebrate together late into the evening.
Location details will be shared with guests upon RSVP.
