Vladimir and Ina met in Berlin in June 1998 and married three years later, in July 2001.
Vrtba Garden (Vrtbovská zahrada)
Twenty-five years on, they returned to Prague — a city that had stayed meaningful to both of them — for a small, symbolic vow renewal at the Vrtba Garden, with their two daughters standing beside them.
There was no need to manufacture emotion. Twenty-five years of it was already in the room — in the frescoed hall where they exchanged vows again, in the garden where they walked afterward as a family of four instead of two.
A Quiet Moment Above the Garden
As their daughters took their leave, Ina & Vladimir lingered for a few precious moments alone, taking in the view from above.
Later, they toured the heart of Prague in a vintage car, holding hands as the summer sun filled the streets.
St. Vitus, Prague Castle
They paused beside the historic doors of St. Vitus Cathedral, where centuries of Prague’s history seemed to surround them, watching the crowds stroll by.
From the castle gardens, they took in the views across Malá Strana, reliving the moments they had gathered over the years, all bathed in the extraordinary light of summer.
