How We Met

*Для перевода на русский язык прокрутите страницу вниз.**Pour la traduction française, veuillez faire défiler vers le bas. We first crossed paths on a breezy day in June 2018 during a lazy river trip that our mutual friend arranged on the Delaware River Gap. While we were introduced on the coach bus transporting our group from NYC down, and seated a few rows apart, we did not make a connection until we got to the river. Hot sun, really great company and a few swigs of tequila on the river led to our initial spark! While Mike caught Polina's eye on the river, Mike wasn't fully hooked until Polina snatched his copy of Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential out of his hands on the trip back, asking how he could possibly be reading a book after having met her? After some months of playing cat and mouse, we were inseparable.

The Proposal

During the summer months of 2020, with international travel unavailable due to the pandemic, we decided to explore the natural beauty of southwest United States. We planned a hiking trip to Zion National Park, neighboring hikes in the Kanab area and finally an exploration of Sedona. Our hikes consisted of daily 5am wake up times, 2-8 hour drives between hikes, a new Airbnb every other night and a lot of water. We figured we'd rest at the tail end of the trip with a long weekend in Vegas.

The trip was more and more memorable each day- starting with a strenuous, freezing trek throughout the slippery path of The Narrows, a beautiful hike up the West Rim at Zion, a once-in-a-lifetime lottery win to explore The Wave and ultimately, Mike's proposal to Polina on Devil's Bridge on the final day. Prior to the trip, Mike contacted his trusted jeweler (Sean Perelstein) to help design a custom ring for Polina. True to his nature of cutting everything very close, Mike had the ring finalized and shipped overnight where it was only in his possession not even 24 hours before leaving for our upcoming trip! And of course, in this very brief period of time, Polina nearly stumbled upon the ring while harmlessly snooping through his backpack. Luckily, Mike woke up from his daily nap in a panic seeing his bag unzipped, only to discover Polina missed seeing the ring box by no more than a few inches! So, on our final day of hikes, Mike was adamant to Polina that a 5:30am wakeup was imperative for our final, 4- miler in Sedona, AZ. Arriving at the parking lot at 7am sharp, wearing a hoodie in 85 degree heat in order to carry the ring box, Mike took Polina on their final hike towards Devil's Bridge. Luckily for him, Polina never questioned the necessity of their start-time, as well as having no idea that the couple we were trailing throughout the hike were actually the photographers Mike had arranged to capture the big moment prior to the trip. And with everything set-up perfectly, with the undercover photographers acting nonchalant when Mike asked them to take our photo on Devil's Bridge, Mike lined himself and Polina up in perfect view on the bridge. After a few traditional touristy poses, Mike asked Polina to face away and look in the distance, as he set-up behind her on one knee. She turned around in complete disbelief, and the rest is history! (As you look at the Proposal photos, notice Mike's left arm holding the ring box in their initial touristy picture on Devil's Bridge. Just a few seconds later he proposed!)

Destination Wedding

Why Portugal?

We both have quite a diverse background, with family spread across the US, Russia and Europe.   As a wedding is designed to bring families together in celebration, we felt that our special day needed to be in a central location that is easily accessible from the US, Europe and Russia.   Portugal is only a 6.5 hour flight to the US, and does not require a visa for any foreign travelers.   We also love the charm and affordability of Portugal. Often considered Europe's best kept secret, Portugal has an incredibly interesting history, architecture, food, sights and culture without the large expenses associated with traveling throughout Europe.

See General Information tab for FAQ's.   We have over 20+ anticipated questions answered to make your booking and attendance as seamless as possible.   Feel free to reach out should you have any other specific questions!   Mike: mpclancyjr@gmail.com  Polina: poyurchenko@gmail.com

КАК МЫ ВСТРЕТИЛИСЬ

Впервые, наши судьбы пересеклись в июньский день 2018 года, во время путешествия по реке, которую наша общая подруга устроила в ущелье реки Делавэр. С того момента как нас представили в автобусе, перевозившем нашу группу из Нью-Йорка в Пенсильванию&nbsp;мы сидели почти рядом,&nbsp;не обращая&nbsp;друг на друга внимания. Жаркое солнце, веселая компания и несколько глотков текилы на реке привели к нашей первоначальной искре! В то время как Майк ловил взгляд Полины на реке, но не был полностью заинтригован ею, пока Полина не вырвала у него из рук его копию «Конфиденциальности кухни Энтони Бурдена», спрашивая: «Как он мог читать книгу после того, как встретил ее?» После нескольких месяцев игры в кошки-мышки мы стали неразлучны.

Предложение руки

Летом 2020 года, когда международные поездки стали невозможны из-за пандемии, мы решили исследовать природные красоты юго-запада США.   Мы запланировали поход в национальный парк Зайон (штат Юта) по окрестностям в районе Канаб, и наконец исследование Седоны (штат Аризона). Это было не легко: после ежедневного подъема в 5 утра, мы добирались до места похода в течении 2-8 часов на машине. Мы решили, что в конце поездки мы отдохнем, проведя длинные выходные в Лас-Вегасе.   Поездка становилась все более и более запоминающейся с каждым днем - начиная с напряженного, ледяного похода по скользкой тропе Узких мест, красивого похода по Западному краю в Зайоне, уникального выигрыша в лотерею, чтобы исследовать Волны и в конце концов, предложение Майка Полине на Чертовом мосту в последний день.   Перед поездкой Майк связался со своим доверенным ювелиром (Шоном Перельштейном), чтобы помочь разработать индивидуальное кольцо для Полины. И конечно же Майк не был бы Майком если бы он не заказал окончательную обработку кольца получая его не более чем за 24 часа до отъезда в предстоящую поездку! И конечно же, за этот очень короткий промежуток времени Полина чуть не наткнулась на кольцо, когда готовила рюкзак в поход. К счастью, Майк проснулся от дневного сна в панике, увидев расстегнутую сумку. Полина пропустила коробку с кольцом не более чем на несколько дюймов!!!   В последний день Майк разбудил Полину в 5:30 утра, настаивая что последний поход самый важный. Мы были на месте в 7 утра, настроенные на финальный переход по Чертову Мосту. Майк был в толстовке с капюшоном несмотря на 26 градусов тепла, пряча в кармане коробку с обручальным кольцом. Полина даже не могла себе представить что еще одна пара следующая этим маршрутом были нанятые Майком профессиональные фотографы    И когда все было настроено идеально, а фотографы под прикрытием сыграли свою роль прекрасно, Майк попросил их сделать фотографии на Чертовом мосту. После нескольких традиционных туристических поз Майк попросил Полину отвернуться и посмотреть вдаль, и встал позади нее на одно колено. Она обернулась в полном недоумении, а остальное уже история!   ---Когда вы смотрите на фотографии предложения, обратите внимание на левую руку Майка, держащую коробку с кольцом на их первоначальном туристическом снимке на Чертовом мосту. Всего через несколько секунд он сделал предложение!---

Свадьба за границей

Почему Португалия?У нас обоих довольно разное происхождение, наши родственники проживают в США, России и Европе. Поскольку свадьба предназначена для того, чтобы собрать всех на празднование, мы решили, что наш особенный день должен быть в месте, до которого легко добраться из США, Европы и России.&nbsp; От США до Португалии&nbsp;всего 6,5 часов полета и не требуется виза. От Москвы до Португалии 6 часов полета и нужна Шенгенская виза и страховка. Нам также нравится очарование и доступность Португалии. Португалия, не так часто посещаемый уголок Европы, имеет невероятно интересную историю, культуру, достопримечательности, кухню которые должны быть доступны многим. ЕЩЕ НЕ ВСЕ--- Сохраните этот сайт и почаще заходите на него, так как мы будем обновлять всю информацию о поездках и свадьбах по мере приближения к свадьбе в 2022 году ---

COMMENT NOUS NOUS SOMMES RENCONTRÉS

Nous nous sommes croisés pour la première fois par une journée de juin 2018 lors d'une excursion fluviale que notre ami commun a organisée sur le Delaware River Gap. Alors que nous avons été présentés dans le bus transportant notre groupe de New York et assis à quelques rangées l'un de l'autre, nous n'avons pas établi de connexion avant d'arriver à la rivière. Un soleil brûlant, une très bonne compagnie et quelques gorgées de tequila sur la rivière ont conduit à notre étincelle initiale!  Alors que Mike a attiré l'attention de Polina sur la rivière, Mike n'était pas complètement attentif jusqu'à ce que Polina lui arrache son exemplaire de Kitchen Confidential d'Anthony Bourdain lors du voyage de retour, demandant comment il pourrait lire un livre après l'avoir rencontrée?  Après quelques mois à jouer au chat et à la souris, nous étions inséparables.

La Demande En Mariage

Pendant les mois d'été de 2020, les voyages internationaux n'étant pas disponibles en raison de la pandémie, nous avions décidé d'explorer la beauté naturelle du sud-ouest des États-Unis.

Nous avions prévu une randonnée au parc national de Zion, des randonnées dans la région voisine de Kanab et enfin une exploration de Sedona. Nos randonnées comprenaient des réveils quotidien à 5 heures du matin, 2 à 8 heures de route entre les randonnées, un nouvel Airbnb tous les deux soirs et beaucoup d'eau. Nous avons pensé nous reposer à la fin du voyage avec un long week-end à Las Vegas.

Le voyage était de plus en plus mémorable chaque jour - en commençant par une randonnée ardue et glaciale sur le chemin glissant de The Narrows, une belle randonnée sur la rive ouest de Zion, une chance unique pour explorer la vague et finalement, la demande en mariage de Mike à Polina sur Devil's Bridge le dernier jour.

Avant le voyage, Mike a contacté son bijoutier de confiance (Sean Perelstein) pour l'aider à concevoir une bague personnalisée pour Polina. Fidèle à sa nature de tout prévoir, Mike reçue la bague pendant la nuit même pas 24 heures avant de partir pour notre voyage! Et bien sûr, au cours de cette très brève période de temps, Polina a failli tomber sur la bague en fouillant de manière anodine dans son sac à dos. Heureusement, Mike s'est réveillé de sa sieste quotidienne en panique en voyant son sac ouvert, pour découvrir que Polina n'avait pas vu l'écrin de la bague de quelques centimètres !

Ainsi, lors de notre dernier jour de randonnées, Mike a insisté auprès de Polina sur le fait qu'un réveil à 5h30 du matin était impératif pour notre dernier 4 miles à Sedona, en Arizona. Arrivé au parking à 7 heures précises, portant un sweat à capuche par 30 °C pour transporter,la bague dans son écrin, Mike a emmené Polina lors de sa dernière randonnée vers Devil's Bridge. Heureusement pour lui, Polina n'a jamais remis en question l'heure de départ, et ignorait totalement que le couple que nous suivions tout au long de la randonnée était en fait les photographes que Mike avait engagés avant le voyage pour capturer le grand moment.

Et avec une organisation parfaite, avec les photographes infiltrés agissant avec nonchalance lorsque Mike leur a demandé de prendre notre photo sur le pont du diable, Mike s'est positioné avec Polina dans une vue parfaite sur le pont. Après quelques poses touristiques traditionnelles, Mike a demandé à Polina de faire face et de regarder au loin, alors qu'il s'installait derrière elle sur un genou. Elle s'est retournée complètement incrédule, et le reste appartient à l'histoire !

(Lorsque vous regardez les photos de la demande en mariage, remarquez le bras gauche de Mike tenant l'écrin dans leur photo touristique initiale sur Devil's Bridge. Quelques secondes plus tard, l'a demandé en mariage!)

Comboios de Portugal

Travel

Hotel OptionsWe recommend everyone stay in Porto nearby the Intercontinental Porto (see circled area below) using the suggested hotels listed underneath. The wedding venue (Quinta Lago Dos Cisnes) is located in Amares, Portugal, which is approximately 60 minutes from Porto, which is Portugal's second largest city. We will be staying at <a href="https://www.ihg.com/intercontinental/hotels/us/en/porto/prtha/hoteldetail" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Intercontinental Porto</a>*, which is a spectacular hotel located in the direct center of Porto. With plenty of culture, food and sightseeing, Porto offers the most for your long weekend before the wedding. As well, for a smaller, more quaint experience in Portugal, we suggest considering <a href="https://www.vilagale.com/en/hotels/porto-and-north/vila-gale-collection-braga" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hotel Vila Gale Collection</a> in Braga for your lodging. Braga is a small town with a true European city center. Braga is about 50 minutes outside of Porto, but only 20 minutes from the wedding venue. Braga can be explored within an afternoon, so be prepared if you decide to spend the majority of your time in this city. Lastly, for families traveling together and groups of friends, it is worth considering an <a href="https://www.airbnb.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Airbnb</a> in Portugal. The value is tremendous for the type of properties available in Porto and nearby Amares. Note: It is absolutely worth booking your hotel as soon as you can. Many hotels have free cancellations all the way up until a few weeks before the wedding. So, better to lock in your rooms at a discount far in advance without any commitment.
