The wedding photograph of Madlen Sivova

This is a photograph from the wedding of my daughter Madlen Sivova, nee Kasabova, taken in 1981 at the Novotel Evropa hotel in Sofia. My daughter's husband is named Emil Sivov. His mother, Dr Milka Beraha, is a Jew, and his father is a Bulgarian. Emil graduated from an English Language School and after that he studied Foreign Trade and worked at the Institute for Contemporary Social Theories. He also used to hold lectures for students. Madlen was born in Varna on 24th July 1957 and she expressed a musical talent when she was still a little child so we enrolled her in the Music School. My daughter took part in a competition for musicians for the Royal Symphony Orchestra of Seville and won it. She went to Spain alone at first and her husband and daughters joined her a year later. So now, for more than ten years, my husband and I have been alone here, in Bulgaria, and my daughter's family lives in Spain. My older granddaughter is already 21 years old and she studies at the Music College in Madrid. The younger one is 14 and she also plays the violin. My daughter's whole family got Spanish citizenship.
