“1+1 Ukraine” presenter Valentina Khamaiko admitted how the war influenced the decision to officially marry her military husband, businessman Andrei Onistrat. The lovers have been in a relationship for 18 years, but they were in no hurry to get married. However, a full-scale war in Ukraine changed their plans. Soon Khamaiko’s husband goes on a business trip to eastern Ukraine. The presenter understands all the risks that await her lover, and if something happens, she is not even his relative. Therefore, the celebrity had a serious conversation with her husband about the need to officially get married.

" He is going east again, he will again be close to the Russian border, this is the brigade again. I again understand what it will be and again I am aware of these risks. If suddenly something happens to Andrey - injury, hospital, intensive care - even in the most terrible moments, I am not his relative. . The couple did not hold loud celebrations. The lovers didn't even change their daily schedule. Nevertheless, Hamaiko put on a white dress, although without undue pomp. The presenter will also use the outfit in everyday life, and then leave it in the closet as a keepsake.. " This dress was designed by us last summer. This is such an event, I thought it was this particular dress, so I bought it in the showroom and went for painting. I know for sure that the dress will be preserved, I will happily wear it for several years, and then, perhaps, I’ll put it away for history,” the presenter shared.

By the way, Andrey Onistrat surprised his wife. The husband prepared a bridal bouquet for Valentina Khamaiko. The presenter didn’t even think about receiving such a gift, so she was very happy. " When I saw Andrey with flowers, it was very cool, nice. The bouquet was very beautiful, it was an unusual combination. He never gave me lavender,” the celebrity recalled.

Although the lovers did not organize a loud celebration, they admit that the moment was very touching. When the couple stood under the aisle, they could not contain their emotions.

“Andrey and I didn’t even think that, looking into each other’s eyes and answering the question, our eyes were full of tears,” the celebrity admitted. Let us remind you that Valentina Khamaiko’s husband recently explained why he married her only after 18 years of relationship. By the way, it was the host who initiated the wedding.
