Singer Irūna Puzaraitė and her husband Rokas Čepononis marked their 10th wedding anniversary, celebrating "olive" or tin anniversary on June 18. The couple, who married on June 18, 2016, in Druskininkai, kept the details of their wedding under wraps from the media until the last moment. Puzaraitė, who was a well-known figure, even posed alone at the civil registry office, seemingly trying to hide her groom.

I was more scared.

— Irūna PuzaraitėDescribing her feelings on her wedding day.

Puzaraitė, who managed all wedding arrangements herself, previously shared with "Delfi" that the planning process was stressful but resulted in an intimate celebration with close friends and family. Her husband, Rokas Čepononis, is not from the entertainment world, and she has always kept details about him private. After their civil ceremony, the newlyweds hurried to a car, leaving the venue.

Reflecting on the wedding day, Puzaraitė admitted to feeling nervous two weeks prior. She also discussed her decision to adopt a double surname and was not yet ready to discuss expanding their family, stating "In the future." The wedding dress was designed by Viktorija Jakučinskaitė of "Tiulio fėja." Following the civil ceremony in Druskininkai, the couple proceeded to the Holy Trinity Church in the village of Liškiava. The groom changed into a military uniform for the church ceremony.

I had bought a wedding planning book, everything is described there question by question, step by step, and I did everything myself. It really cost a lot of nerves, a lot of time, and I'm the type who doesn't need help from others. I wouldn't repeat this, definitely.

— I. Puzaraitė-ČepononienėReflecting on the intense personal effort involved in planning her wedding.

In a 2025 interview for the podcast "Žvaguliai tuokiasi," Puzaraitė-Čepononienė recounted the meticulous planning of her wedding. She described facing numerous doubts and complex questions during the organization, leading to new solutions and ideas. Initially, she considered her parents' and guests' preferences, but ultimately shifted the focus to what felt right for her and her husband. Despite the effort, she stated she would not plan such an event again, having spent 1.5 years on the planning using a wedding planning book, which caused significant stress and consumed a lot of time. She also mentioned feeling "more scared" than tired on her wedding day, hinting at unexpected challenges during the preparations.

For the first time, when we started organizing everything, there were moments of inertia: I wonder if parents will like the music that will play? I wonder if that will be tasty? And I wonder if mom won't say why the flowers at your wedding are dark, not light? So many questions arose that I said: where are we? The celebration is still about us!
