  • Local residents in Taevaskoja claim that cellist Silvia Ilves's wedding left behind trash and horse manure.
  • Ilves has categorically denied these accusations, suggesting the village elder's claims might stem from jealousy or a generally negative disposition.
  • The wedding, held on June 22, has become a point of contention regarding post-event cleanup.

Cellist Silvia Ilves has vehemently denied claims that her recent wedding celebration in Taevaskoja left behind a mess of trash and horse manure. Local residents reportedly complained that the sacred site was littered with debris and animal waste after the festivities.

Taevaskoja village elder Ahti Bleive alleged that confectionery wrappers and confetti were strewn everywhere following the ceremony, and that the Great Taevaskoja area was filled with horse excrement. However, Ilves has dismissed these accusations as "absurd lies."

One local resident suggested that the village elder's opposing narrative might be motivated by envy or simply his personality as a "grumbler." Ilves and Marek Nรตmmik held their wedding ceremony and reception in Taevaskoja on June 22.

Several publications reported on the alleged mess left behind after the wedding, citing the village elder's account. Ilves's strong rebuttal aims to set the record straight regarding the condition of the wedding venue.
