WIFE CELEBRATES MARRIAGE BY SNOWBOARDING IN WEDDING DRESS

SNOWBOARDING in your £2,000 wedding dress sounds like a nightmare for most brides. But this is exactly how one adventurous wife decided to celebrate her marriage. Rodica Havrestiuc, 25, and her husband Adrian, 24, donned their wedding day attire, as well as their snowboarding gear, to create a unique photo-shoot at Mount Holly Ski and Snowboard Resort in Michigan. The couple, originally of Suceava, Romania but now living in Belleville, Michigan, share a love of snowboarding.
