a Washington DC wedding experience

Malwina Bardoni and Nathan Cross wedding description

Malwina and Nathan had a raw and authentic wedding celebration. They got married at Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle, a church with a unique setting. During the ceremony Malwina’s grandmother did a reading in Polish. Malwina and Nathan shared very special moments during their first dance at the DC War Memorial and had a beautiful reception at Riggs Hotel, Washington, DC.

Nate and Malvina met on the 5th floor of the National Archives building in College Park, Maryland on April 16, 2018. Malvina was a new employee, and Nate had been working there for a month. They were both too shy to even really say hello the first time they saw each other. Their first conversations were awkward, most of the time Nate was too terrified to know what to say. One time, he tried covering up his awkwardness by asking que Malwina questions about her professional career—probably one too many. She responded by asking “would you like to see my résumé?!?” But despite this awkward start, they became friends, and always looked forward to the days when they were assigned to work together. After a month, Malvina made the first move. She asked Nate to go to the zoo together, and he eagerly accepted. He asked her out on a second date before the first one had even started, and things moved quickly from there. They love traveling together, taking short trips to Virginia Beach (where Malvina became maybe the first person in history to actually be pinched by a crab), Delaware, Gettysburg, Shenandoah, and sections of the Appalachian Trail. They also got to meet each other’s families in Chicago and Texas, and took a trip to Colorado, where they got to see Mesa Verde and Lake City. They moved in together in March 2019 in Greenbelt, Maryland. On August 24, 2019 they adopted Lola, the world’s sassiest beagle. Lola has ruled their lives ever since. Her daily demands of tributes in the form of raspberries and blueberries now consume most of their resources. The three of them are now quarantined together, an experience that is testing Lola’s forbearance, but ultimately bringing them closer together!

Malwina and Nathan are starting a new chapter of their lives together and Fine Art Wedding Film (Desmond & Vera Denton) are wishing them all the best on this journey!
