Sona & Tak: An Armenian Love Story - Chapter 2

[@freddyfriesen]

My wife and I started photographing weddings when we started going together in 1973. My little doll just turned seventy. Now that we are fully retired, we have more time to cuddle. A marriage is like an investment: the longer it is held, the more compound interest it accrues. : )

This is the cutest comment ever ❤️God bless you both

[@jackbauer408]

I love this comment.

[@spirosb7822]

I really love how this sweet, upbeat music is playing in the background and Sona is just destroying the wedding industry.

[@calicattus7986]

Sona is extremely realistic and down to earth about the whole wedding thing and so she is telling it like it is. Finally, honesty! I liked my wedding dress, but I didn't cry and no one ever cried when they saw me in it. Thank God, I would have thought they were crazy. When I see people tearing up on TV, I feel like I could throw up. You go girl! Congratulations! Tak seems like a great catch.

[@epicwolf]

Tak seems like a very funny guy who has a great sense of humor.

[@silverfritzreah5598]

she threw so much shade to the Bridal industry hahahahahahaa and i really loved that bridal journal thing!!!

[@IPlayOneOnT.V.]

Well, she had acknowledged she hated the whole process to begin with.

[@deemack2829]

Sona has that real down to earth vibe to her she's koo,

[@alexeimscruz2893]

that unassuming attitude of Sonais what made her beloved by Conan fans as much as Conan himself...

[@roxyagogo0810]

Sona remindsme of my Armenian teacher - she's very hot tempered and vocal about her frustrations. But she's very kind and giving💓

[@davidbigwood8450]

These guys look so good together.

[@jessicaturrell6884]

Wedding planning was the literal worst. Everything Sona said is EXACTLY how I feel about the wedding industry - it's all a rip off!!! I was sooo relieved once my wedding was over. 😂 Happy to be married but the planning sucked.

[@RegularSlice1]

I SOOOOOOOOOOOOO LOVE THIS!!!!! CONAN IS SO LUCKY TO HAVE A WONDERFUL PARTNER IN CRIME AT WORK! SORRY FOR THE YELLING BUT I AM EXCITED!

[@jackbauer408]

I need a podcast of these two. Pronto

[@MaryLeila2245]

I love her that’s how I feel about weddings

[@ec5018]

I love sona her husband is cool and Sona has cute like sloth eyes.

[@darkwaters1010]

She just gave everyone a great business model; a wedding gown store fit for Armenian women.

[@marianneagu1312]

I need to do some macho stuff right now❤️❤️❤️❤️best couple ever

[@mattf49006]

Almost married a Armenian girl back in the early 80s...she ain't kidding...wish we had both been ready

[@IPlayOneOnT.V.]

I stood-up in my brother's wedding in the mid-'80s, and he had us in Pierre Cardin tuxes. At that time mine cost me $50-and-change. It was a great tux, in shades of black and charcoal.

[@jahimjauh-hey5653]

Mad props to Sona for shitting on the wedding industry.

[@rhllnm]

Nice necklace, nice dog.

[@mrvang8077]

Thanks for sharing your beautiful wedding story. Even though it may seem like a disasterous, but all in you're gonna look back to it and be able to share it with your famlies and future kids and laugh about those good memories.

[@PAMAROSHOUSE]

@ 845 sona is so pretty

[@Jack-fp9oo]

550 people in wedding.... Americans:- wowowowoowowwowow Indians:- huh!!

[@PAMAROSHOUSE]

sona💕💕

[@anagasa]

Lmao I didn’t cry with my dress too. But I did feel like a bride in it and love it too much. Excited to wear it but not in the mood to plan my wedding lolol

[@barton_dean39]

She just now had twins, and apparently she looked amazing the entire time she was pregnant. Better take care of her Tak, she has lots of fans buddy. Ha

[@TravelBug189]

I felt the ptsd after the wedding for about 6 months. Now I want to plan another one!

[@maxhirsch7035]

Loved Sona's description of the bridal/wedding industry as a racket. As I like to say, "They get you at birth, marriage, and death," that is, at each of those stages of existence, expect to be financially reamed by vendors/merchants/other service providers. Seriously, especially for you younger folks out there. Get ready for the shucksters when you get married, when you have kids, and when a loved one dies. Try to plan ahead a little if possible. Don't buy too much into the marketing hype when you're emotionally compromised. Nota bene - with a little caution, the first two "stages" would be optional/discretionary lifestyle choices, of course.

[@kaycox5555]

Sona - you are so-o funny and no way are you a size 14 - you look like a size 8, beautiful.

[@anagasa]

Bridal size is different to normal. She’s prolly a size 10 normal clothing

[@curbozer5006]

@@anagasa She simply has a nice, curvy, sexy body, and most men will tell you they prefer that over a stick figure with fake boobs!

[@grimdrum2396]

❤

[@medenilla12]

We got married in another country and that was even harder as either my wife would be the one flying over there or we both fly over there just for planning and paying. I give so much credit to my wife.

[@alexeimscruz2893]

that "what's the fuzz, I don't care, what's the big deal" unassuming attitude in Sona is what, I think, most men look for in a woman to marry... they just want to get married to the man they love, period... I'd want one for myself... the only trouble is some women believe in weddings where they want to be the princess in a Disney movie, the queen for a day kind of thing, with a fairy tale to tell their friends, not even thinking what about the guy, what about him and stuff?

[@raemanmusic]

Sona called herself a thicc woman

[@nomehdrider]

cute couple

[@loisenolp4746]

I’m a little late to this but she does not look like a 14-16! She looks smaller. She carries it well!

[@JaneDoe-em7zi]

Omg I think Sona has a beautiful shape lol. She said she's thick like she's huge or something.😄

[@armancho76]

hmm Talin huh?.. yeah Talin is definitely very popular western Armenian name Talineh..I think Sona even mentioned in the Armenia video that her family was from Sebastia or Sivas when they visited the Genocide memorial ..like Im half eastern from Artsakh and half western from Van (Kingdom of Urartu) ...my westernern side are like the mediterranean flavor of the family like Syriacs (Sumerians Phoenicians), Assyrians, Greeks, Italians ...my easternern side are a little colder more like the Irish British or Bavarian flavor of Armenians if you will .myself I was born in Yerevan like Sona's hubby

[@bobbyletap]

2 years

[@AngelLestat2]

I want a wife just like her.

[@-----REDACTED-----]

I think it’s unfair a wedding dress is so incredibly expensive and often single-use. I also think we men should buy the tux if possible since every man should have one available for formal occasions anyways... Rentals are just...no.

[@silverfritzreah5598]

omg this warms my heart so much, never heard this sentiment coming from a man before. Thank you!

[@TexasVet62]

Nope

[@amalkamary]

see in some countries the brides rent their dress... and the groom buys his suit (to wear at other occasions like christening or someone else's wedding..)

[@lilliesu]

I don’t know why someone would spend so much money on a wedding party. I think the best solution is get married at the courthouse, have a nice barbecue with family and friends...something easy going and then spend the money that was for the wedding party on a magical vacation/honeymoon and also a house down payment.

[@clarkw4028]

Ooooh trust me once you’ve been a part of an Armenian wedding you can’t wait for a potential next one. I’ve been a part of 10 including my own. It’s amazing, fun, entertaining, the food and drinks are always there so you’ll never run out of that…….and you know what you’re getting yourself into.

[@JimmyGreenThumb88]

Cup, jacket, and I am busy...

[@JayFreezy86]

Mate get that Lonsdale top off. What you hanging about outside the job club?

[@nickess9773]

he's married now, he doesn't need to dress to impress ;)

[@maxhirsch7035]

If I had had 550 guests at my wedding, I would have either hemorrhaged or have had to be coked up the whole time. I can barely imagine that many guests. 130 of them were enough for me; but then, I'm an introvert..

[@clarkw4028]

250 people is small? I had 120 at my wedding and that was fairly small. Lol

[@ersamoo]

looks like its a love story only for her

[@ash43]

Exactly poor Sona.

[@maneetsingh3203]

Literally had 1300 people at my wedding. No joke!!

[@clarkw4028]

Holy cow I don’t think Priyanka Chopra had that many at hers lol. Who did you marry? Salman Khan? Lol Jk that guy will never get married he’s 55.

[@Mark-xh1jw]

🤙☘️👍

[@georgiedu84]

✌🇫🇷🇦🇲

[@JeansWebbTv]

Love Sona, and her guy seems cool & fun - but WHY on earth do people put themselves through the torture of a wedding!? :) #unmarried_in_a_26_year_long_relationship

[@VWGTI2013]

What a shnowzer! The dude got some elf ears!

[@angelamitchinson8439]

I think he's handsome. He reminds me of Oscar Isaac.

[@DoubleGauss]

The guy is insecure/ lacks self confidence. This marriage will be in trouble years down the road.

[@antipeter8013]

Stfu, he probably just isnt used to being filmed

[@andrewwagner9901]

I wholeheartedly disagree. He’s perfect for Sona as she is for him.

[@truthteller3181]

I don't want to predict that bad thing but yes, he is not as sure of himself. I think he may be younger than her
