Russian photographer Murad Osmann has been following Natalia Zakharova around the world for years — but over the weekend they traveled somewhere completely new together: down the aisle.
The couple, who became Instagram famous for their photos tagged with the hashtag #followmeto, tied the knot over weekend and celebrated their nuptials by posting a photo in their signature pose. “I promise to hold your hand and tell you I love you every day for the rest of our lives,” Osmann wrote in a caption alongside the above image of Zakharova wearing a long-sleeved lace wedding dress and holding out her hand in a surreal setting. The ceremony took place in an appropriately dream-like setting with a bright blue sky aisle leading to a red straight out of Cinderella doorframe, in a garden filled with oversized silver orbs, cloud statues, and gold egrets.

Leading up to the wedding, Osmann shared some of the preparations. While Zakharova did not wear a brown suit (mysteriously, neither did her fiancé), the editor-in-chief of the website begoody.ru seemed to have a fitting with a tailor. The bride did wear a Vera Wang Moscow gown with large tulle skirt with floral appliqué on the long train.

The #followmeto project was inspired by Zakharova’s impatience and her always trying to lead and call the shots on their adventures. Instead of causing tension, it sparked a viral phenomenon. Over the past five years, they’ve visited Hong Kong, Sri Lanka, Paris, Brazil, New York, Jordan, and more with Zakharova wearing amazing local dresses and jewelry. The beautiful and loving series has seen Osmann’s Instagram account followers climb to 2.5 million. They’ve since received a book deal and tons of international press attention.
Their life’s kind of like a fairy tale — and now they’ve had the wedding to match!
