There was no royal wedding
A few years ago, Arvydas and Nelly gave an interview to Legendos magazine: they remembered their acquaintance and love.
Arvydai, do you remember the first time you saw Nelly on stage?
Arvydas: We music students only had to go to amateur reviews to find out who and how they started working. And the speeches began to say that there is a very good soloist in the communication ensemble singing movie songs. One of them was Strekoza, so let’s say we’re going to see Strekoza. I met Nelly, I met her in town.
I already had an orchestra, which was located in the house of culture, and one day Daunorienė accompanied me to Nelė. My eyes squared, I offered to accept a singer who seemed unattainable, somewhere up there …
Nelly: There was no orchestra left, I had to find another group, I went to one, I didn’t stay because the director began to communicate ambiguously. I went to another, the situation was repeated. I told the manager that everything, I would throw myself singing and not go anywhere because I can not. I couldn’t go to Kaunas, as she suggested, because I had a son, I was not alone and free. Then the manager says, “Okay, I’ll take you to Paltin, he genius and very serious. It will be quiet ”. And that Paltin, as I later learned, had been watching me for a long time …
I would not even have thought that my husband would marry, I always repeated that it could not happen.
You can never say ‘never’: I would never have thought that my husband would get married, he would always repeat that this could not happen. After all, he had all kinds of fans … But in our case, I can safely say that it’s not my fault that the first Arvydas family broke up.
Arvydas: I got married very young, we lived together for five years.
Nelly: I saw how difficult it was for him. I regretted it. And I saw that he fell in love with me … I thought – maybe I can make him happy? Yes, it is very childish. Then I fell in love with Arvydas. We lived with him for four years without a hit. We were in fashionSerie).

Arvydas: They were few then: we violated Soviet morals. All types sprats It was: after all, we couldn’t stay in a hotel room.
Nelly: The hotel receptionist opens the passport and says: do not go to a room, you are not husband and wife. Colleagues are trying to convince us that we have been living together for so many years, but not yet. We established ourselves with colleagues of the same sex.
We couldn’t reciprocate because I was married to the father of my son, I didn’t know where he was, how to find him and ask for a divorce. This was only possible with the announcement of a nationwide search, which was not very easy. When he sent a telegram to the court stating that he did not object to the divorce, I was able to go free.
Although our real wedding to Arvydas was not like that. On January 6, fifty-two years ago, we went, corresponded and went to a concert. Only after that did we sit down with colleagues, have a snack … We all drank for our health. Only up to a point.
For a long time, Klimenko was also written in parentheses next to Paltinienė’s surname. There were also some confusing ones. A man after the concert says: “You sing very well, but Klimenko sang better.”
