21-year-old model and 27-year-old businessman married in St.Petersburg, but will live in Paris
Katia Domankova (the girl, who in 2006 won the contest "Supermodel of the world" in New York) met her future husband on the internet, with the help of the site "Classmates".
- Anton saw my photographs and asked his friend that he introduced us. We started to communicate in "Classmates", and then met in New York (I was living in New York, and he - in Miami). At first, talking with friends, and after a few days with him went together to the club, and talked for a very long time. Then I called my mother and said: "Mum, I would probably marry him!" Mom, of course, thought it was serious. I was 19 years old, and who knows what I said after the night club (laughs). I felt immediately that this is my man. Anton, 27 years old, he hails from St. Petersburg, is engaged in business.
He knew that you were working as a model?
- According to my photos, he realized that this is my profession. He showed them to his mother, and she said: "Anton, a very beautiful girl, but she's a model!" There is a stereotype that model - it's near a girl kind of behavior ... But now everything is normal, we talked, and everybody knew that I was a man not a model.
When did he propose?
- Six months after the first meeting. I had a birthday, we sat in a restaurant in Minsk with my parents and other relatives. Anton was the first time came to them. And, sitting at the table, he sent me a message: "You just please be quiet. I have a question for you - will you marry me? "I wrote:" Of course! "And he was such a touching moment - I see he is waiting for a pause, and seemed to pause occurs, and he can not say because, of course, is the most crucial step in life ... And he said: "I ask the hand and heart of your daughter." All, of course, taken aback, and my father sat silent, and his tears flowed ... By the way, Anton is similar in nature to my mom, they even birthdays in one day.
You had a designer wedding dress?
- Yes, it was sewn to order at Valentin Yudashkin. It turned out stunningly beautiful: lace top embroidered with beads and all the Swarovski crystals and a veil to it long 4,5 meters. This dress is now at home, and I would want my daughter is getting married in it.
How many children would you like to have?
- Three, I'd have wanted. Of course, I'll see how it will affect my appearance (laughs). It would be nice if just twins.
Now you're working model?
- I have not worked for a year. We went with Anton in St. Petersburg, he wanted to introduce me to her parents. Went away for a week and then took the second, a month ... I called the agency and said: you know, I'm not be able to come. Of course, they were a little stunned. After the crisis, I was not very many proposals, besides, I was preparing to enter the University of St. Petersburg on the faculty of journalism with a degree in public relations. In the modeling business, I had almost five years, it will remain as a hobby, but now wants to conquer the other peaks. In St. Petersburg I will learn in absentia, in parallel will be educated in an American university, but not higher, and take those things that interest me.
You live in Petersburg?
- We lived a year in St. Petersburg, and now plan to move to Paris. This is necessary for work. While his apartment there, they will rent housing.
Who is the head of household?
- Of course, husband. The latest decision is up to him. This does not mean that I do not have the right to vote, my voice is very strong. We complement each other, counterbalanced. I know that something more than brought us to this alliance.
Anton is very attentive, often gives me gifts, and if you come from somewhere, never comes home without flowers. He spoils me a lot!
