Note from donor:
My love might be unusual but on the other hand it’s completely natural to me. I am Russian and my husband is Serbian. We couldn’t see each other regularly until I moved to Belgrade and we started to prepare for our wedding, something we were both eager for.
I found this purse in the wedding shop where I also found my dress. My dress was the first one I tried, it fit perfectly, as if I was born in it.
On my wedding day, as is custom, I had everything necessary in the bag: something old, something new, blue, borrowed…the smallest most beautiful purse in my life – the most sublime burden and souvenir of a beautiful day and beginning of a long lasting love.
