Our route
Four cities to «yes»
We met in one country, fell in love in another and decided to marry in a third. So we fly.
Moscow · January 2022One cup of coffee
We met on a bridge in a snowfall: Timur's hands were frozen, Sonya had a spare coffee.
Istanbul · May 2023The first layover
Missed the connection and spent a day in the city. Realised it's better this way.
Lisbon · October 2025Tram 28
Sonya leaned out of the window, Timur took that shot. It's on the cover now.
Havana · February 2027The finish — on the beach
Here Timur asked, here Sonya answered. Here we'll marry — with you.
Three days
Havana, beach, rest
We arrive together, we leave together. In between — one evening in the city, one ceremony on the sand and one morning to sleep in.
Flight to Cayo Largoa small plane
Forty minutes over turquoise — and we're there.
The ceremonyPlaya Paraíso
Barefoot, facing the sea, twenty minutes.
Dinner on the sandthe long table by the water
Lobster, rum, sunset and toasts.
Son cubanosame place
A live band from Havana. Everyone can dance — tested.
Travel
What to know before departure
Everything people ask a week before the flight — in one place. The rest is with Mariela, she's in Cuba and answers faster than we do.

Dress code
Beach formal — that is, «pretty, but barefoot»
Sand, sun and wind decide for us: linen, light, nothing complicated. The colours are from this beach.
For herLinen, midi, flat soles
A dress or a jumpsuit in sand, mint or coral. Heels will sink — sandals or barefoot.
For himAn untucked shirt, light trousers
Linen or cotton, sleeves rolled up. No jacket needed, a hat — very much so.
- The ceremony is at 16:30 — the sun is still high. A hat, sunglasses, cream.
- The sand is fine and hot: shoes come off at the beach entrance.
- By evening there's a wind from the sea — a light shirt or a shawl will come in handy.
Where
Cayo Largo and Havana
Two places, one island. We land in Havana, on the second day — forty minutes on a small plane to the beach.

Questions
Asked before departure
We collected everything people wrote to us over the past month. No answer — Mariela is in touch.
Didn't find the answer? Write to Mariela
Do I need a visa?
No. Russians get up to 90 days visa-free, you only need a passport valid for six months after the trip.
How to pay?
In cash: dollars or euros, exchange a little at a time at the hotel. Our banks' cards don't work, nor does Apple Pay.
Will there be internet?
Slow and mostly at the hotel. Get a Cubacel eSIM in advance — or take a three-day break from it.
How hot is it?
February is the best month: +28° by day, +21° in the evening, almost no rain. SPF 50 and a hat are a must.
Can we swim after the ceremony?
You must. Dinner starts at 18:00, between the ceremony and dinner — the sea and the sunset.
Can we bring children?
Yes. The beach is safe and shallow, the hotel has cots. Put the ages in the form.
How long is the flight?
A direct flight is about 13 hours. There are options via Istanbul with a layover, but we're flying direct.
What to bring as a gift?
Yourself and a tan. If you'd like — a contribution to our next flight, the details are in the «Gifts» section. Flowers won't survive the flight.
Postcards
What we wrote to you
From every trip we sent each other postcards — even when sitting side by side. Flip any of them.
Gifts
The best gift is you in Cuba
Honestly: you've already spent on the ticket. If you still want to — we're saving for the next flight. Where to — undecided, hence the question mark on the ticket.
Or bring a bottle of rum — we don't have any in Cuba. Joke. We do.

We'll collect the real ones on the beach. But this wall already works — and everyone who's flying will see it.
Timur, it's my first time flying across the ocean. Sonya, I'm flying for you. Buy me rum.
Grandma VeraFlying in via Istanbul, like you did back then. If I get stuck for a day — you know whose fault it is.
DimaEverything's ready, the sea is warm, the band is rehearsing. ¡Hasta la boda!
MarielaLeave approved, tan planned. Already picked the song — Chan Chan, of course.
