The Wedding Of Lu valdis snow & Saki valdis snow 07.11.25 @ 5:00 pm SLT

In a world wrapped in soft snowflakes and the shimmer of ice, where winter itself seemed to pause in honor of love, Saki and Lu pledged their forever.

Their ceremony took place at Wintertime Love, a breathtaking venue kissed with the crispness of frost and glowing with affection. Lu, radiant and serene, was escorted down the aisle by her beloved father, King Valdis — a moment both regal and tender, the kind that lingers in memory. Waiting for her at the altar was Saki, eyes full of devotion and just a little disbelief that the day had finally come.

The setting was uniquely theirs. In a tribute to Lu's playful love of sharks, her family transformed the winter landscape into an icy ocean of joy. Ice sculpture sharks lined the path like guardians of their love, and above the reception floor twirled a magnificent shark disco ball, casting glints of light like stardust over their celebration.

Their love story, like the season that surrounded them, took its time to settle in — gently, deeply, undeniably.

It began through Lu’s sister, with friendship blooming slowly over the years. There was no instant lightning bolt, no movie-style meet-cute — just two people learning about each other in the quiet, honest way that lasts. Differences became balance. Similarities became glue.

And then came the napkin.

Over burgers and laughter at Burger King — far from any candlelit cliché — Saki slid a napkin across the table. On it, a simple, heartfelt question. Cheesy? Maybe. But it was just right. That night, something shifted, and so began a journey neither of them expected, but both had been waiting for.

There were challenges. There were doubts. But the more they walked side by side, the more they realized they didn’t just want a love confined to pixels and log-ins. Saki didn’t want just a Second Life romance — he wanted real life, too. Lu had dreamed of this moment for so

long. And eventually, Saki said yes. Yes to this day. Yes to every day after.

And so, officiated by the always enchanting Kasha, serenaded by DJ Flirt, and captured by the talented eyes of Kulaan and Ryanna Dragon, they were joined — not just in marriage, but in partnership, in promise, in playfulness, and in passion.

At the reception, laughter rang out like sleigh bells. Cherry, Saki’s best man, gave a speech that brought tears and grins alike. Then King Valdis stood once more, offering heartfelt words before sharing a father-daughter dance with Lu that felt like something out of a snow globe dream. Guests laced up their skates and zipped around the icy floor, while others danced under the sparkle of the shark disco ball, celebrating a love that had finally, wonderfully, arrived.

Today, we pronounce them not just husband and wife — but best friends, shark-sculpture conspirators, napkin-romantics, and soulmates.

May the chill of winter always remind them of the warmth they bring to each other. May the adventure continue, in Second Life, in real life, and in every life yet to come.

Congratulations, Saki and Lu — your forever has officially begun.
