One of the legendary basketball player’s best friends, journalist Vidas Mačiulis shared exceptional photos of the Arvydas and Ingrida Saboniai festival on the occasion of their pearl wedding. The first journalist to see Arvydas after the ceremony, who saw a large crowd gathered from the balcony and spoke to Arvydas, says on the social network that his impressions are indelible.
“Let’s be happy: Ingrida and Arvydas Saboniai: the anniversary of a pearl wedding! On June 15, 1990, the Town Hall Square was something that not only Kaunas but also all of Lithuania had seen and would not see. Several thousand people witnessed the marriage of Ingrida Mikelionytė and Arvydas Sabonis. And I was there, I saw everything, the filmmakers of my television show filmed, and Kauno diena’s photojournalist, Edmundas Katinas, took a photo. Everything is like yesterday, even though 30 years have passed … When Domantas returns from the Atlantic, perhaps he will be able to watch the video file of the 1999 wedding together with the entire Saboni family and share the memories? With a beautiful and significant wedding anniversary, Ingrida and Arvydai! Be healthy and happy, “writes the journalist Vidas Mačiulis on the social network Facebook.
Delphi After contacting V. Mačiulis, he stated that it was impossible to tell the feeling that was flooded while standing in the town hall square of Kaunas.
“I have never seen so many people in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento. We had arrived earlier on the wedding day with the cameraman, but around a thousand people had already gathered. We went up to the balcony, the view was spectacular. When Arvydas arrived with Ingrid, no there was a way that they could get out of the car. People pressured them everywhere. Now I can’t say how many thousands of people there were, “the journalist shares his impressions. V. Mačiulis adds that that image was later seen in the Kaunas town hall square only in 1995, when the Lithuanian basketball team became the vice-champion of the European Championship.

It is true that the journalist’s files contain not only exclusive shots of photojournalist Edmundas Katinas, but also images of the wedding.
“Of course, I called Arvydas and congratulated him on his pearl wedding,” says V. Mačiulis. – I remember that immediately after the wedding ceremony I was the first to do an interview with Arvydas. One photo left. I’ve always been like this, first or not at all. That’s what I left. “

The journalist admits that he has seen a lot in his life, but he never saw a video like it was during the wedding of Arvydas and Ingrida Saboniai.
“There were not many people in the hallway, the closest ones. Maybe 10 or 15 people. And what was happening outside … Believe me, it was impressive, no, it was a real fiction,” smiles V. Mačiulis.
