Love knows no bounds, and for Svetlana Dotsenko and Fabián Alejandro Poliak, their love story is a testament to that. What started as a chance meeting at a party at Harvard in 2008 blossomed into a whirlwind romance that spanned across continents and culminated in a unique and unforgettable wedding celebration.
After reconnecting in 2018 during a summer program in Greece, where Mr. Poliak was hired as a last-minute tutor by Ms. Dotsenko, the couple embarked on a journey that took them to Russia, where their romance truly began with a kiss at the Peterhof palace complex in St. Petersburg. Despite living in different countries and facing the challenges of a long-distance relationship, their love only grew stronger as they traveled the world together, meeting in countries like Switzerland, Mexico, and Peru.
As the pandemic brought them closer together, with Mr. Poliak moving to Amsterdam to be with Ms. Dotsenko, the couple’s love story reached a new milestone when they exchanged surprise proposals on different bridges in Poland and Amsterdam, symbolizing their equal partnership and commitment to each other.
Their wedding, held in Buenos Aires, blended traditions from their Jewish and Russian Orthodox heritages, with a touch of tango and a special musical performance by the newlyweds themselves. The celebration lasted until the early hours of the morning, with guests reveling in the joy and love that surrounded the couple.
For Svetlana and Fabián, their love story is a testament to the power of love, perseverance, and the belief that true love knows no boundaries. As they start this new chapter of their lives together, their journey serves as an inspiration to all who believe in the magic of love.
