The wedding of Alexander and Elizabeth took place in Tbilisi, in the House of Justice. That the wedding will take place today, famous showman and his beloved did not warn anyone. There didn’t seem to be a magnificent celebration either. Modest outfits, close friends - even the ceremony did not look very solemn.

“Meet, this is my husband. I love him madly,” wrote the happy bride.

Well, the groom showed a photo before the ceremony with the caption: “In 5 minutes my bachelor life will end!”

Elizaveta Yurusheva appeared before the altar in a short summer dress, and even without heels. The outfit with a lush bow on the back, however, was white.

Skichko said about the wedding:

“We won’t have a huge wedding, only our closest ones: friends, parents. 40 people, no more. This is a normal Ukrainian wedding, maybe we’ll go out not for three days, but for sure for two days.”

Alexander developed the scenario for the celebration on his own, because he had to lead ceremonies for others more than once.

So in the near future we can hope that the newlyweds will share latest photos celebrations.

Let us remember that 26-year-old showman Alexander Skichko started talking about a wedding with his chosen one, the owner of the Fairmont hotel and the daughter of a billionaire, Liza Yurusheva, back in January.

Despite the fact that the girl is several years older than her lover (like his first wife), Alexander does not see a problem with age. Lisa already has two children - daughter Tata and son Daniil from her first marriage - it seems that they have an excellent relationship with the new dad.

“I have a picture of my ideal wedding because I have seen so many of them. Therefore, in terms of content, script, plot, this is more mine,”- said the groom.

Alexander proposed marriage to Elizabeth in January while on vacation in Dubai. The showman took advantage of the perfect moment while dining by the singing fountains near the world's tallest tower, the Burjkhalifa.

“I asked Lisa: “Do you think if I proposed to you now, would it be romantic?” – Alexander recalls. “She answered: “Yes, of course.” Such a fountain, and the music plays.” While she turned away, I carefully placed the ring on the table, and when Lisa turned her head, for four or five seconds she did not understand what was happening, to be honest. He just looks at me, then at the ring, and in his gaze there is a question: where is it from and whose, did someone forget? And here she is in shock, and then…”

Alexander and Lisa in Dubai

According to the groom, only his closest friends and relatives will be invited to the wedding:

“For me, the most important thing at a wedding is the guests. We won’t have a huge wedding, only our closest ones: friends, parents. About 40 people, no more. This is a normal Ukrainian wedding, maybe we’ll go out not for three days, but for sure for two days.”

Let us remind you that Elizaveta Yurusheva - youngest daughter Ukrainian billionaire Leonid Yurushev, who owns, in particular, an empire of grand hotels in Kyiv. Lisa is raising two children from a previous marriage - son Daniil and daughter Tata.

For 26-year-old Alexander Skichko, this will also not be the first marriage: at the age of 20, he married a television producer who was 10 years older than him. Two years later, their marriage broke up.

The owner of the Fairmont Grand Hotel Kyiv and the Riviera boutique hotel, Elizaveta Yurusheva, showed us her favorite things from her huge wardrobe, and also introduced us to her pets.

Elizaveta Yurusheva received a journalistic education in Austria and an economics degree in Ukraine, which, of course, gave her great opportunities for self-realization. Business acumen, purposeful character and love for fashion led the young girl to the fact that the beginning of her business career was the opening of a chain of fashion boutiques “Manhattan” in Kyiv and Dnepropetrovsk.

Some time later, at the suggestion of her father Leonid Yurushev, Lisa began to engage in the family hotel business, with which her whole life is now closely connected. About the main principle in her work, the businesswoman says this: “The main thing is not to fall in love with your business and not to treat it with enthusiasm, but to respect and see its economic and real sides - this is the advice my father once gave me.”

Today, in addition to the work that takes most time, Elizaveta devotes her time to travel, shopping, and walks with her five-year-old son Danya and her two beloved dogs, Rafa and Chud.

“In general, since childhood I have loved big dogs- such as our Labrador Rafa. But with the appearance of this little one in my life, whose name is Miracle, I fell in love with little ones. By the way, she is very connected with interesting story. When my sister had a daughter, I started buying the baby an insane amount of clothes and all sorts of beautiful things. Since I have a son myself, he has a boyish and masculine wardrobe, and this is completely different. And I embodied all my fashionable ideas in my niece. That’s why they gave me a wonderful dog, with the words: “Let you also have your own girl that you can dress up.” That's what I called her - Miracle. Now she really has her own wardrobe.”

In addition, Lisa showed us her favorite things from her own wardrobe, which, by the way, any girl can envy.

CostumeDolce & Gabbana

Because on weekdays my appearance Due to work, a huge part of my wardrobe is occupied by business-style clothes. Personally, I don’t always like this style, so I try to dilute the classic look with some bright, interesting details that help me look not boring, but at the same time appropriate for meetings, negotiations, trips, and so on.

I bought this suit at Sanahunt, I immediately liked it for its non-monochromatic and slightly variegated colors. And when I tried it on, I immediately realized that it was what I needed, because I rarely manage to find things in a classic style that are not too big for me and fit well.

DressVictoriaBeckham

Victoria Beckham is my favorite brand that creates truly perfect dresses in cut, style, and color. I have a lot of Beckham dresses, but most of them middle length. I prefer short dresses like this one, which has become my favorite due to the fact that it is very simple, but in combination with various accessories it can look elegant and sophisticated.

BagChanel

I have a special story with Chanel bags - I have quite a lot of them, but every time collectible models come out in different colors and variations, I can’t resist buying them. It was the same with this one - it is yellow, sunny and in combination with the python texture and sequins it looks very impressive.

This bag is like my favorite Laduree cake. Every time I pass by a candy store, I can't resist buying a couple. Even if I don't eat them, I just buy them because they look beautiful in display cases that are associated with dreams, beauty, and something incredibly beautiful.

EarringsJudithRipka

I believe that jewelry should really decorate, whether you wear it with a casual or evening look, they are designed to enhance and highlight the image. That's why I don't really like minimalism or discreet accessories, preferring bright ones Jewelry, decorated with sparkling stones.

This is exactly what jewelry from the Judith Ripka jewelry brand is like. They are stylish, colorful, and add the right sparkle to any outfit, like these earrings, which I received as a gift quite recently, but have already become one of the most iconic in my jewelry collection.

SweaterDsquared

I adore such unusual and memorable things that are very rarely found in designer collections. When I first saw this poodle, I simply fell in love with him. But bad luck, the Dsquared store in Kiev didn’t have my size. I had to go there literally every week, terrorizing the sellers with the question of whether the “poodle” had arrived in size XS, and when it finally arrived, I immediately rushed to pick it up.

BagJimmyChoo

This bag is one of my favorite accessories, firstly, because it is pink - no matter how trite it may sound, but I, like a real girl, love pink, and secondly, it is decorated with stars, which are also my favorite symbol. I can't resist clothes, shoes or jewelry if they have stars in the design.

This happened with this bag - I bought it in Austria, where I was on a short business trip and had no plans for shopping at all, but looking into one of the stores for a minute, I saw this thing that seemed to be looking right at me. And perhaps she looks too bright and infantile, I love her very much for this feeling that takes me back to childhood.

The couple started dating in 2015, but, according to Alexander, the candy-bouquet period between him and his beloved continues to this day. Skichko admitted how he proposed to his future bride.

This happened during the couple's vacation in Dubai. They dined at the Armani/Hashi restaurant and looked at the famous dancing fountains. When the song started Whitney HoustonI Will Always Love You, Alexander proposed his hand in marriage to Elizabeth and gave her a four-carat diamond ring. By the way, the wedding ring was created by a private jeweler, and Skichko chose the stone for it himself, specially understanding the intricacies of the purity and color of diamonds for this purpose.

The bride's engagement ring was also made to order. Round white diamonds, also made to order, shine along its entire perimeter. As for the groom's ring, Alexander chose a model from Cartier's LOVE collection.

Guests invited to the wedding of Alexander and Elizabeth received invitations in the form of a boarding pass for the plane that took them from Kiev to Tbilisi.

Invitation in the form of a boarding pass

The total number of guests is about 50 people. To decorate the holiday, they used a lot of greenery, flowers, and untreated wood. The celebration took place on the terrace of the Rooms hotel at the foot of Kazbek in the Georgian village of Stepantsminda.

For the wedding celebration, Elizabeth prepared three outfits. For painting - a laconic Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche bustier dress.

For the ceremony and the traditional Georgian passage under the sabers - a dress from the Romanian brand Ersa Atelier, which was additionally decorated with embroidery by the craftswomen of the studio of Ukrainian designer Artem Klimchuk, and for evening dances - a dress from the Israeli brand Berta Bridal. Shoes – classic Gianvito Rossi stiletto sandals.

Except for the engagement and engagement rings, from the jewelry the bride chose the Mrs pendant from the Jennifer Meyer brand.

The musical program of the celebration included Monatik and Max Barskikh, as well as Georgian folk dances. For the first dance, the newlyweds chose the song “People” by the group “Boombox”, which, as the lovers admitted, means a lot to them.

Let us remind you that Alexander and Elizaveta Yurusheva are in Georgia.

Elizaveta Yurusheva, manager of Fairmont Grand Hotel Kyiv, Riviera boutique hotel and founder charitable foundation“We are picking up the future at once,” a mother of two children, talks about how to be a mother-friend for your child, about the main teacher in your life, the features of teaching family business and women who inspire.

About childhood, stereotypes and attitudes towards luxury

I don’t know how my parents did it, but I realized that I was from a very wealthy family at the age of 17. Probably because I grew up abroad. I didn’t have the idea that I was allowed everything and that I was privileged. I lived in Vienna, traveled by metro, and from the age of 14 I worked at Ukrainian International Airlines. My first salary of 500 euros seemed unreal! Where did this desire to earn money from an early age come from? For example, to buy a Lois Vuitton bag. There was no cult of luxury in the family. Apparently, this is an innate desire to have brands, to wear beautiful clothes. The story of how I started working at UIA is quite funny. A friend of my mother worked as a chief accountant in an Austrian office. I was told that I had a pleasant voice, so I decided to try myself in a call center. All day I said the same phrase: “Ukrainian International Airlines, how can I help you? Yes OK". P-i-p, and that's it, it turned off. In general, I realized that this is not my thing.

About the advantages of education abroad

I studied at a regular Austrian school, then transferred to England for two years, then continued my studies in international school. I changed educational establishments in order to be fluent in languages, because foreign languages You can’t learn it until you live in the atmosphere. She chose the profession of journalist herself. I really love writing. It brings me pleasure. But getting an economic education was a necessity. When I realized that I needed to study economics, I thought that I couldn’t handle it. But it turned out that being an economist is very interesting. Only after becoming a mother did I understand my mother, who cried her eyes out when she sent me to study abroad. But on the other hand, I gained independence that I would not have received at home. From the age of 12 I flew on planes alone, I knew all the flights, how not to be late, how to be organized. I would like the children to gain the independence that England gave me. Yes, it’s hard to be away from children, but it will be easier for them in life later.

About returning to Ukraine

It was my father's decision. He invited me to do a project in Ukraine - to open a chain of Manhattan stores. My refusal, frankly speaking, was not even subject to discussion. He spent his whole life building a business. But calling me an heiress or successor is perhaps too loud. I like that he educates me. He trusts me, but I take responsibility for the risks and build my team myself.

On the principles of raising children

The phrase “you must” was never heard in our house. We saw how hard our parents work, how much they give to us. They opened all the doors for us! And I understand that I cannot do differently. I want to give my children the same opportunities and childhood experiences that my parents did. This requires a lot of work. But children should not understand at a young age what is rich and what is not. Childhood has nothing to do with materiality. When I had children, I simply didn’t recognize my parents: “Children can do anything! Don't touch the children! You don’t know how to do anything!” For them, grandchildren are sacred. I'm talking about a stricter regime: tennis, violin, ballet... Dani's son has a clear program, and he must follow it. I try to be a friend to my child, I want there to be no topics that he would be embarrassed to talk to me about. We cannot protect our children from all temptations. Danya may say a bad word and ask what it means. And I explain to him that this is only allowed to be said if someone is 18. And that’s it, he never comes back to it. And prohibitions only fuel the desire to do something contrary.

About work/life balance and guilt

We have a nanny, my mother helps me, but I try to be with the children as much as possible. I've got internal conflict, because with Danya I stayed at home for a year and a half, going to work twice a week. With my daughter, everything is different: I went to work on the 10th day after her birth. And I want to catch up a little. The baby always sleeps with me. And I feed her at night. With the advent of children, I began to get up earlier - at 5.45-6.00. So I have an hour until the children wake up. Then Danya gets up, I take him to school, and go to work. When I come home, I obey my children. They want to collect Legos - we collect them, they want to dance - we dance. I made my choice, I want to be with children and work. So when I need to, I have an hour in the morning, and after everyone goes to bed, I can do my own thing.

All mothers have a feeling of guilt. I grew up with a stay at home mom. We didn't have a housekeeper and she did everything herself. So I can’t say that she had a lot of time to play with us. Later I realized: you can just sit and look at the child or spend quality time with him. Danya says: “And my mother and I did this, and that, and that.” My son associates the concept of “mom” with positivity. I’m strict, but he knows that we will definitely go somewhere, watch a movie, do something together. I fill his life with emotions. Therefore, you need to find an activity with your child that will not be stressful after work and will allow you to spend time productively. I can play on the computer with my son or go for a walk with the children and the dog. Loud music helps a lot. I turn it on on the way home from work and come home at such a high point that the children are surprised. The most important thing is to fill yourself with positive emotions.

About my husband

My husband and I do not live together, he is a foreigner, and is raising our son in a different mentality. We are raised in such a way that we are not obliged to our parents, but grateful. Here, in Austria, the child should be happy. But the question arises: how does a child know what happiness is? I often asked my mother why I should go to the violin, why I need to read. And my mother, a teacher of Russian language and literature, forced me to read. Now I am grateful to her. I can carry on any conversation, because then I sat down and read.

The image of the ideal mother of the 21st century

An ideal mother (no matter whether she works or stays at home) should love her children. And almost every mother is ideal. But perfection will never be achieved; we will all say at some point that we should have concentrated on something else. I believe that when we come into this world, something is already inherent in us. Not everything depends on upbringing.

About what the children taught

Children opened the world for me with new side. Adults are the same as children, only without the dream of becoming adults. I still get a kick out of it all. Going to Disneyland or playing something is a real pleasure. Lego, by the way, is great at calming your nerves. I watched all the cartoons, now I perceive them completely differently. And when I read “The Little Prince” to Dana, whom I have loved since childhood, I burst into tears. This is such a deep book, and without my children I would not have read it a second time. Children charge me with positivity. One day Danya asks: “What’s the problem?” I explain to him, and he: “So what, do it like this.” Or, for example, I’m nervous, and then the phone rings. The son says: “Mom, turn it on silent.” We adults constantly beat ourselves up.

About the features of running a family business

I consider my father to be my main mentor. He taught me everything I know and how I work. At first I was involved in hotels, completing the construction of the Intercontinental and Fairmont Grand Hotel Kyiv. Now I have big project- a plant for the production of laminate and MDF coatings, which is not a woman’s business at all. But I do it, and quite successfully. At work, my father is very strict, he raises me as a partner, as a person, as a subordinate. Sometimes we quarrel at work, but he is the foundation for me. And the team. There’s no way without her. I have many ideas, projects, I want to develop in many areas, but a person can never do this alone. Therefore, you need to select a team and listen to its opinion. I love promoting new people. I believe in ambition.

How to make decisions in a crisis

I am a crisis manager. I feel the moment when everything will go downhill sharply. The most important thing is to “leave the party on time.” In our holding great importance has a reputation. If you didn't succeed the first time, it's never too late to try a second time. Moreover, everything is cyclical. What was fashionable and profitable five years ago will become the same after some time.

5 key events in life

1, 2. Birth of children.

3 . When I first saw that my dad was proud of me. He will never admit it, but I saw it. When he gave me the task of building the Intercontinental, I saw that he felt confident in me. I heard him say: “Lisa can do this.” It's so nice when my father consults with me. I don't try to live up to all other people's expectations, but when my dad is proud of me, it's wow.

4. That moment when Danya told me: “Mom, I love you, you are my best.” I fluttered with happiness.

5. When I graduated and realized that everything is now the real world.

About life principles

I have a very developed sense of justice and responsibility. I am a man of my word. If I said it, then I will do it. But at heart I remained a naive and cheerful girl who believes in miracles. I consider this a great advantage in this day and age. People have disappointed me, but I still believe in the best. Perhaps kindness can be seen as a disadvantage in work. But I take people on because I treat them well, and decent people would never think of letting you down. I am very happy man, because I do everything that I think is necessary.

About business leaders who inspire

I admire Anna Wintour. I couldn’t be the same - not the same character. I've read a lot about her and I don't believe that she is such a robot as everyone says. I would give a lot to talk with this woman for half an hour. She is a brand woman. In one magazine there was a photograph of her from the back, but you immediately understand that it is her.

About publicity

It’s very difficult for my PR people, because I’m alone at work, and my personal life is my decision. But I listen if they tell me that I need to go somewhere, even if I’m tired. It’s not that I don’t like parties; rather, I perceive them as a production necessity. Events are good, but since I have very little time, I can’t just stand around and chat. I want to go to the children. I even gave up shopping because it takes a lot of time. I buy everything online when the kids are asleep. In general, there are a lot of “shoulds”, but I leave “wants” aside.
