Monte Carlo, Saturday evening. The first star lit up in the still bright sky. Fog slowly descends from the mountains, white-winged albatrosses circle over the sea. In the gardens of the Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel, guests, dressed in flowing dresses and elegant tuxedos, eagerly await the start of the wedding ceremony. The rabbi, dressed in festive attire, stands under the arches of a snow-white tent and smiles, looking over his glasses. “The star has lit up, Shabbat is over. It’s time!..” says the rabbi. The string orchestra plays and the ceremony begins.

Peace and love reign in the family of Victoria's chosen one. David Berkovich was led to the chuppah by his mother Tatyana (pictured above left) and the second wife of his father Boris, Elena

First, the groom's friends and bridesmaids follow along the "white path" of the Le Jardin Mediterraneen garden, children follow them, scattering rose petals, and the procession closes younger sister Victoria - Alexandra Krutaya. Next, to the soundtrack of the film "Dangerous Liaisons" Bitter Sweet Symphony, groom David Berkovich appears - in a suit with a bow tie, a kippah and with a traditional model tallit blanket on his shoulders. The groom is led to the altar, or rather the chuppah (a canopy on four supports, under which the wedding ceremony - kiddushin) takes place, by his mother Tatyana and his father's second wife Elena.

The wedding ceremony, according to all the canons of Judaism, was performed by Rabbi Lieberman; at the end of the ceremony, he presented Victoria and David with a marriage certificate - ketubah

The music changes, the ensemble plays Lana Del Rey's Young & Beautiful, and a dazzling bride appears, young and beautiful Victoria, to the applause of the guests. She is led by the arm of Igor Krutoy, followed by Olga Krutaya. So the wedding of Victoria Krutoy and David Berkovich began brightly and solemnly.

They met in Miami sixteen years ago.

He was 14, he was nice, cheerful, handsome, but the most ordinary guy. I liked older guys back then

Victoria recalls with a smile.

And even then, at the age of 12, she was already beautiful, which is what I immediately told her: “Vicky, I will definitely marry you!”

David adds.

Victoria's parents Igor and Olga Krutoy and David's parents laughed at the touching remark and soon forgot about it. Victoria and David went to school: she flew to New York State, he to Switzerland.

Further in this story the appropriate phrase is: “Years have passed...”. The young people have matured. We got ourselves accounts on a social network, started communicating on Facebook, became involved in the global network good friends and one day, through mutual friends, we ended up in the same company. That meeting, which happened about five years ago, became the starting point for their modern history: unexpectedly for themselves, both Victoria and David realized that there is no one closer, dearer, and those tender feelings that they experience for each other are not memories of a teenage crush, but a serious, adult feeling.

David proposed marriage to Victoria in 2012 - December 13, 2 days after his birthday.

I won’t say that this was unexpected, because David announced his intentions many years ago. But it was incredibly touching!

Victoria and David got married a month and a half ago in America - the official registration of the marriage took place in the suburbs of New York, in the Hamptons, on June 1. A few weeks later in Monaco they became husband and wife according to Jewish custom. At the end of the traditional ceremony, David crushed a glass wrapped in a towel with his right foot, and the guests shouted in unison: “Mazal Tov!”, translated - “Happy Fate!”

Dusk fell over Monte Carlo, and guests slowly began to move into the Sporting Club celebration hall, located next to the hotel. A spacious hall with a stage and a long terrace, which offers panoramic views of Monaco and the bay of the Ligurian Sea, was the ideal place for holding big holiday. The already wonderful mood was supported by the musicians of A"Studio, SEREBRO, Ivan Dorn, the famous American hip-hop artist and producer Jean Wyclef, as well as the host of the evening Nikolai Baskov.

Successful women and handsome men! Greet the newlyweds! - proclaimed Basque. Victoria and David appeared on stage in the spotlight. And Nikolai continued:

And I immediately want to invite the outstanding composer and his wife, the wonderful Igor and Olga Krutykh, to the stage. Cool wedding! Cool family!

Igor Yakovlevich noted Baskov’s sense of humor and addressed the audience with words of gratitude:

Thank you for coming thousands of kilometers to share with us the joy of today. Our family is very indebted to you. Of course, the entry of a new member into our family is not an easy process. But when David came and for the first ten minutes he talked incessantly about how my wife Olga was the most beautiful woman in the world, and I am the best composer and he listens only to my music, then, you understand: he immediately came to court. And now in any conflict he has with Vika, we take his side. I want them to be healthy and happy, to give birth to our grandchildren and to always hear laughter in their house, like now.

The mother of the bride Olga Krutaya wished Victoria and David children: My dears! I love you very much, I simply adore you. Vika, you are everything to me - my life, my happiness! They told me today: “It’s amazing how easily you give your daughter away in marriage!” So, I’m not giving away my daughter - I’m accepting my son. And I accept the title of mother-in-law. And I will be happy if I soon become a grandmother. I wish you that your life will be as beautiful and extraordinary as today. At this moment, Igor Krutoy quietly said: “How is your life with me?” “Yes, like mine,” Olga answered just as insinuatingly.

The first toast was followed by a dance of the bride and groom, traditional, but in this case not quite ordinary. The young ones were accompanied by Igor Krutoy. He sat down at the black piano, and everyone heard the words of a familiar song: Forever, I hug you./ Forever, I saw you and melted./ Your gaze, like an angel, gives light./ You leave a mark in the sky./ It’s impossible to be careful.. .

"Women can cry!" - Baskov allowed. And Vladimir Vinokur called the next five hours of the holiday “perhaps the best concert of Igor Krutoy.” And it’s true: the guests were not bored for a minute. The toasts were followed by performances by the artists, and it seemed like absolutely all the guests were dancing to their hits. During short intermissions, videos were shown on large plasma screens. In one, a voiceover told the love story of Victoria and David.

In another, the newlyweds, made up as if they were nearly a hundred years old, themselves recalled how they met and fell in love with each other. In the third, he congratulated Victoria and David while walking with a baby stroller, close friend Tatiana Berkovich - Gosha Kutsenko, who recently became a father for the second time.

According to Jewish tradition, the wedding ceremony is usually followed by a light kosher dinner and Jewish songs are performed. However, since the newlyweds were congratulated by a large international group of friends and relatives, on this day both the Jewish “Mazal Tov” and the Russian “Gorko!” were heard, and on the tables there were dishes from different cuisines of the world - pancakes with red and black caviar, foie gras, medallions beef, risotto with white truffles, sea bass with champagne sauce, tomatoes with Italian mozzarella and much, much more.

At exactly midnight, four chefs rolled out a five-tier cake weighing 50 kilograms into the hall. Victoria and David cut the confectionery masterpiece together and went out onto the terrace, where volleys of festive fireworks were heard.

Last Saturday, composer Igor Krutoy married his adopted daughter Victoria. The chosen one of the 29-year-old beauty was Moscow restaurateur David Berkovich. The lavish wedding in Monaco was attended by all the cream of Russian show business.

The civil ceremony took place in early June in the USA, where the it-girl lives most of the time. At a modest evening for those closest to her, Vika appeared in an informal white top and skirt, and David in jeans and a jacket. Now Igor Krutoy, as promised, organized a celebration for his daughter on a real social scale.

The wedding took place in the open air against the backdrop of mountain landscapes. An altar covered in white flowers, bridesmaids in flowing powder dresses, a bride in a dazzling white dress and her proud parents - the happy moment in the life of the star family was filmed on mobile cameras by hundreds of guests. Among the guests were famous representatives of the Moscow elite: Andrei Malakhov and Natalya Shkuleva, Svetlana Bondarchuk, Lev Leshchenko, the Agalarov family, Yana Rudkovskaya, designer Katya Dobryakova, Igor Nikolaev with his wife Yulia Proskuryakova, VJ Artem Korolev, Keti Topuria, Anastasia Vinokur, Alsou and a lot others.

In choosing her wedding dress, the bride preferred the classics with interesting accents: a draped mermaid dress with open shoulders and a hem made of lush organza complemented updo with original hair decoration. The groom, also following the canon, wore a black tuxedo and bow tie.

The romance between Vika Krutoy and David Berkovich began when they were both 15 years old, but the girl received a marriage proposal only last year. The lovers celebrated their engagement six months ago during a vacation in Berlin, and now they have officially legalized their relationship by organizing a luxurious celebration for themselves and their guests.

The eldest daughter of the famous composer Victoria Krutaya met her future husband - the son of restaurateur David Berkovich - at a very young age: he was 14 years old, she was 12. For a long time the young people did not communicate at all, but years later they found each other in in social networks. A friendship began between them, which, after meeting at a party with mutual friends, developed into a romance.

A few years later, David and Victoria legalized their relationship. This happened in America, where Victoria lived at that time. Some time later, a solemn and grandiose wedding ceremony took place in Monaco.

The marriage registration was organized according to Jewish custom on the open terrace of the hotel. About 400 guests were invited to the magnificent celebration, among whom were numerous stars of Russian show business: Andrei Malakhov, Yana Rudkovskaya, the Agalarov family, Igor Nikolaev, Keti Topuria, Alsou and many others.

The bride appeared before the guests hand in hand with her father. Victoria opted for an elegant look, every detail of which showed impeccable taste. However, elegance and tact ran through the entire celebration in a thin line: decoration in delicate powdery tones, guests in evening dresses, a well thought out program for the evening.

The newlyweds performed their first dance to the accompaniment of Igor Krutoy. Ivan Dorn, Keti Topuria, as well as Nikolai Baskov, who was entrusted with hosting the significant event, performed on stage.

The highlight of the evening was a multi-tiered a wedding cake, after which the guests went outside and watched the incredibly beautiful fireworks that adorned the night sky of Monaco and were reflected many times in the black mirror of the waters of the Ligurian Sea.
