Lauren and Illya decided long before their wedding that they wanted to travel abroad. After researching, they realized this would be the perfect honeymoon after they tied the knot in New York. Soon after (their wedding), they embarked on their 6-month European honeymoon.

We were able to catch up with them in Paris, appropriately the most romantic city on Earth, for a date night in this magical place. Lauren and Illya had a stop for afternoon espresso at Cafe Le Deauville, accompanied by macaroons from the famous Laduree. They took an evening stroll through the streets of Champs-Elysees before reaching the iconic Tour de Eiffel for a romantic dance under the setting sun.

A trip to the Eiffel tower wouldn't be complete without stopping for a crepe at a nearby creperie stand. It was truly a magical day that Lauren & Ilya will always cherish, during their memorable honeymoon abroad.
