Tim and Xinia at First Wedding

Tim at First Wedding with Xinia

Xinia describes the events before their first wedding:

Tim asked me to marry him, but we had difficulties determining a day which would allow all our kids to particpate in the ceremony. We spend one week trying to find suitable date but it was impossible to arrange with our 5 children calendars between works and universities commitments. Checking the various calendars, it would be two years before we could find a date.

The day that we picked up the marriage license, we decided to elope and 4 hours later we got married in a park near Andover.
