Solomiia & Markiyan

2012

Meet Cute

We met at the university

Although we studied in separate groups, Markiyan frequently borrowed Solomiia's notes. And not only due to her nice handwriting 😉

2015

First Project

Synergy in the team

While working together on an educational project, we discovered that we can achieve great things together. It was during this experience that we first found ourselves staying up late, communicating via Skype into the wee hours of the morning, to ensure that we completed the project on time.

First Official Appearance

Solomiia brother's wedding

Markiyan was trying hard to leave a positive impression on all of the guests. Fortunately, the event was a great success, and he is now eager to take on a new role and repeat this experience 😅

2017

The Wheels

Our first car

We were incredibly fortunate to have a large, comfortable, and reliable station wagon that joined us on all of our adventures. Whether we were enduring long queues at the Polish border, going on a week-long tour in Europe, or navigating through treacherous, snow-covered Carpathian serpentines, our beloved Oktasya never let us down.

2018

Freedom

University graduation

Even though we sometimes missed being students, after graduation we had way more time to do things we loved and grow our personalities.

2019

First Half Marathon

Mia got challenged, but we run together

Certainly, Markiyan had the advantage of running with his long, two-meter legs, but he chose to maintain Mia's pace and encouraged her to complete the race. While we may not have achieved exceptional results, we were able to complete our very first half marathon together.

2020

Traveling

Not much is needed for true happiness

The lockdown encouraged us to finally put our long-standing plan of visiting Bakota, Ukraine into action. This experience taught us that we could find genuine happiness in the simple pleasures of life.

2021

Adventures

Freeride tour on Dragobrat

That year, we finally had the opportunity to visit Dragobrat mountains. We were blessed with excellent weather and randomly got to witness a ratrak freeride tour. Although it may not have been our wisest decision, we still have no regrets about joining the freeride tour.

2022

The Other World

Working together towards victory

The war made us stronger and brought new goals and values into our lives. We have finally started our long-awaited joint business venture.

Engagement

Long-awaited surprise

Markiyan made the decision to propose despite the circumstances because our eighth anniversary falls on a weekend at the end of May. And this is his favorite time of the year.

Registration

Official marriage state registration

We intended to have a modest signing of documents without excessive ceremony, but the ladies from the Registry Office had other plans. That's how we became a married couple in the eyes of the state.

Wedding

Our new family

There is so much to say here, but we will simply say that it was the best day of our lives. These emotions will stay with us forever.
