WIFE CELEBRATES MARRIAGE BY SNOWBOARDING IN WEDDING DRESS

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.
