The Potty Diaries: Of course, life in Russia is ALWAYS like this...

Of course, life in Russia is ALWAYS like this...

>> Thursday, 15 March 2012

A friend sent me a link to the youtube clip below (thankyou, C). I love it. And I would just like to say that yes, this probably is for real; planning a surprise like this for a bride is not inconceivable here. Provided the groom has the cash to pay for it, obviously.

It was filmed at Sparrow Hills, a famous view point across Moscow where newly married couples often come to have their photographs taken on their special day, usually arriving - along with the wedding party - in limos like the one shown in the clip (although they are usually adorned with a giant pair of linked gold wedding rings and flowers on the roof).

Enjoy the feel-good moment...

Attachment Mummy, 15 March 2012 09:24: LOVE IT!! Makes me SO 'homesick' for Moscow though...
Louise, 15 March 2012 09:52: Wow that is wonderful. Has cheered up a dull day here!
planb, 15 March 2012 10:28: Oh me too on the homesickness! I lived at MGU so that's practically my garden!

That bride's been practising though...
Irene, 15 March 2012 14:05: That was great! I thoroughly enjoyed that. I always like manifestations like this. I'm glad they happen in Russia too.
Circles in the Sand, 15 March 2012 16:58: Fantastic! We had a flash mob here in Dubai a while ago ... Love the feel-good factor!

nappy valley girl, 15 March 2012 23:06: Excellent! I'm glad to see that this can happen in Russia. I've yet to see a flash mob on Long Island, that's for sure...
Mrs. Munchkin, 16 March 2012 21:24: how fun! Thanks for sharing! You know I was looking at what they were wearing more than the dance to figure out how to dress and what people are wearing there...LOL! I see I may need a couple different kinds of coats...heavy duty fur and a puffer.
Muddling Along, 29 March 2012 17:16: How fab is that (and I love the Dubai one too - brings back memories of too many hours spent in that airport)

After 5 1/2 years of blogging I have finally turned on the word verification thingammyjig. 3 months of deleting 50 + spam comments a day will do that to you. Please bear with the incredibly annoying word verification whilst I try to sort the problem and/or find a better solution; for now I would love it if you would still go to the trouble of commenting...

Potty Mummy

Moscow, Russia

Dictionary definition of Potty: 'somewhat silly or crazed, addlebrained'. I started this blog to share the benefit of my - admittedly limited - experience of potty training my two boys, and to show that whilst it can be hell, it also can be done. All things must pass though (thank goodness - my sons are now 8 and 6), and potty training for us has been consigned to history, so this has become more of a blog to stop me becoming potty than about the potty. And if you can understand my twisted logic, I hope you enjoy these extremely subjective anecdotes on being a stay-at-home mum transplanted to Moscow and still coming to terms with not also being a career woman. Really. You'd think I'd be over it by now; it's been 5 years since I last worked in an office - and went to the loo with the door shut - after all... You can also find me writing as Clare Taylor on Powder Room Graffiti and in the blog section of the Moscow Times on 'Diaries of a Moscow Mum'.

And be polite. The moment I put pen to paper or fingers to keys, all content, photos, or images on this blog (unless otherwise credited) are copyright me, me, me.
